So you probably wont want to know but the weather here is just gorgeous. My tan is back very nicely and I have spent the whole of July 4th weekend out in the sun. My kids have been on summer vacation now for 3 weeks and the family left for their vacation to Maine on Saturday, leaving me to have 4 blissful days of quiet in the house by myself.....so good!! I am heading up there tomorrow to join them for the remainder of the week and having had a look at the pictures of this resort they are staying at, I am not complaining!!

Yesterday was of course the 4th of July and I went in to Boston city with a
group of other au pairs to enjoy the celebrations. We spent the afternoon
on a picnic blanket with the rest of Boston beside the Charles River soaking
up the sun and then listened to the orchestra which lead into the fireworks
- I have to say that Americans definitely know how to do fireworks well!! So things here are really going very well for me. I just love my family. Nicole L. from Nelson.
