When we arrived, it didn't take long to see that Nikki was up to the same old tricks. (Hi Nikki! ☺) She had locked herself out of her house. :0) Apparently she has a bit of a reputation for doing this, as we found out from half the congregation at her Church on Sunday morning, who had already heard about 'the incident' on Friday night.
Saturday was a great day for a casual walk. Now, if you know Nikki, you know she likes to walk. Our casual walk turned in to an EPIC 15 mile trek!! We thought she was taking us to see her parents in Edinborough! By night time, we very happily sat down to dinner and a couple of movies (I even stayed awake for both of them - much to Matt's surprise).
Easter Sunday: We walked another 5 miles to get to Nikki's church (no public transport) for the Easter Service. A beautiful service celebrating the true meaning of Easter. It was lovely to meet some of Nikki's friends, and some of the youth she teaches at "Friday Club" (youth group).
Another 5 miles later, Nikki treated us to a mouth watering 'Traditional English Sunday Lunch" of Beef, Potatoes, Vegetables and of course Yorkshire Pudding. We ate better this last weekend than we have for the past 5 weeks - thanks Nikki! The best part was when we were walking home, we could smell the beef cooking as we approached the flat. Mmmmm!
We reminisced about old times in college and shared memories from times apart. She misses lots of the College gang and is thinking of going over to Aus sometime soon.
So.. look out... and make sure you've got a spare key to your house.
