I said goodbye to Jamie this morning before I went to work; he is about to go on holiday to Turkey and immediately afterwards set off to New Zealand for the next eighteen months. I am so pleased and excited for him - but of course I will miss him. Our boys all love to travel and I'm used to them jetting off on extended holidays, so I'm not sure that it has quite sunk in for me yet how far he is going and for how long. We are lucky that we will be able to keep in touch via video links such as Skype and FaceTime. But New Zealand is still a long way away.
Jamie came through to spend this weekend with us and we had some nice chats. Grandma came for a farewell lunch on Sunday and she kept on bursting into tears because Jamie is leaving - it's so unlike her usual stoical demeanour. As for me, I'm kind of ok about it; its not a permanent move for Jamie and I wish them the very best as they start their fantastic adventure.
