Thanksgiving in England and Germany

In November, we took a 2 week trip to the UK and Germany. It was a wonderful time, and Henry got to play with his cousin Finlay and catch up with all the Street/Mott clan. We had a proper Thanksgiving party in Littlehampton and spent many days at the beach. Henry really loved playing the piano with Finlay and discovered the joys of playdough for the first time. We also got the chance to see Venessa (old friend from Norfolk school days) and her 6 month old son James. In the middle of the trip we visited the Heidmann family in Hamburg. Despite freezing cold temperatures, we braved the weather and enjoyed gluhwein and Christmas markets. Henry got to speak a little German too including "auto" and "hallo" with a pretty decent German accent!
