Sassos in Surrey: Moving Readiness...A Quiz

Pip Pip and Cheerio!

Well, here we are! Touched down in beautiful London after an AMAZEBALLS summer with friends and family. Frankly, I had forgotten how much I liked some of you. You are all pretty darn cool, and we really miss you already! And no, you have not missed several blog installments. I am just now getting to it, so let's just pretend it's August, OK?

Before we get started with all the details...I have designed a quiz for you, just to see how much we all learned from Dubai. And, really, Dubai is just too funny to let it be. Remember, our boxes were packed in Dubai and shipped to London. Ready?

DUBAI PACKING IDENTIFICATION QUIZ

Please identify what would be the content of the boxes marked as follows:

1) Dumbles

2) Wight Ma Chin

3) Wheel

4) Glass Dresser
5) Dresses for Table

If you guessed the following - congratulations! You have learned the language of Dubai! Here's what was in the boxes:

1) Books
2) A Scale
3) A bicycle
4) The Dining Room Side Bar
5) Tablecloths

So, it was with mirth and a little sadness that we bid Dubai a very fond goodbye! It was a wonderful adventure! But we are very excited to get started in London! And about that...

We are living in an area just outside of central London in a county called Surrey. Our town is Weybridge and the community is called St. George's Hill. We went back and forth between living in the center of the city and sending the kids to the American School of London in St. John's Wood, or living outside the city where we could have more space. In the end, the call of the yard and the ability to have both our canine companions join us won out, and we opted for the country! Augusto is taking one for the team and commutes in to the city for work - but it's only a 25 minute train ride, so not too bad! The part I love? All the homes have names instead of numbers for addresses. Ours is "Pinebrook House". Here's the new Casa Sasso!

The area we live in is extremely GREEN! One of the benefits of being outside the city! Here is the drive on to our street - Brooks Close:

As we waited for our shipment to arrive, we stayed in a gorgeous hotel run by the good people who run the Hotel Bel Air! Just like home! It is called Coworth Park, and is picturesque British countryside...check it out!
