My favourite accent

The almost-3 years that we lived in England were incredibly happy times. Lots of travel, adventures, and sleep (oh, god, the uninterrupted sleep of the childless!). During our travels in the UK, I decided that the Yorkshire accent is my favourite. Which is convenient because one of the best friends I made while living there is the lovely Yorkshire Liz.

We haven't seen Liz since Ev and I were in England in 2008, when Evy was 5 months old. So it was high time for a reunion and I was delighted when Liz decided to zoom into Millbrook for a few days.

As with all good friendships, Liz and I picked up right where we left off. Which means drinking lots of port and lemonade, and laughing ourselves senseless. We had a great time and the kids loved her. The visit went by far too quickly.

Here are a few photos from our visit to the Zoo on Tuesday.

"Hmm, never heard an accent like THAT before."

Come back soon, Lizzie. We miss you already!!
