Sakura

Friday, March 31st, 2006

Well it’s sakura time here in Japan and the cherry trees are in full bloom. It’s quite magical really, with the trees seeming heavenly at night with the lights around them. We had a Hanami party at work, which was really cold, but a lot of fun. Okada-san put on a great party and was only a bit drunk, so we could make only a bit of fun of him…

Marshals

Friday, March 31st, 2006

The Marshals have come to visit us and it’s been great having them here. The kids have really taken to them, with Cordi being both the kids’ favourite. Evan wants Onkel Horst to read to him and Lauren wants Tante Ilse to read to her. They both get stories from Auntie Cordi. Lauren can start to say their names as well, with Auntie Cordi being “Co”. They gave us some lovely presents
