Leicester darling, you've been good to us! You gave us friends, you gave us curry (you gave us Revolution far too late), you gave us a PhD and a job, you gave us a gym and some tone and tough tummy for at least a while; and you gave us, best of all, a big fat upgrade from two single people with some 5 suitcases full of stuff and one open return ticket, to a family with an incredible and beautiful Tara (pictured here on her last New Walk walk back home)...
(picture slightly blurred due to fatty baby finger prints on lens)...and (f*** SH*** D***IT!) a van AND a car jigsaw packed with stuff.
So it's time to say goodbye, and we take a final stroll across Townhall Square, we chase some birds, and Tara takes her hat off to Leicester too.
And then, after 4 years, 1 month, 2 weeks, and 2 days, that's it.*
Time's up.
Time's up.
Good bye, Leicester, love.
(Mummy, slightly hysterical: "I'm going to miiiiissss ya, LestA")
* "That's it"? Of course that's not quite it! There's packing boxes, and packing vans and cars and lots of puking (Tara) and crying (Tara, too. Mummy gets a grip, and thinks, as instructed, of the benefits ONLY) on our way out. But that's a different story which will be told!

And we're gonna miiissss ya too (a bit of LestA slang - just to make you feel slightly homesick for Leicester).
With all this time that you are going to have on your hands you should put your writing talent to good use - you could follow in the footsteps of some of those famous renowned mummy's who took to writing the stories that they created to entertain their siblings -
Hope you manage to successfully unpack everything before you realise you can probably manage without whatever it is you have not yet unpacked
PS did you ever find the 'missing' phone !!!

Oh dear, the pain of leaving all that behind. But you are taking the best things with you: Tara and the yoga mat. At least I made it three times to fun Leicester. But hey, adventures are to be found where Frau von Roenn is residing. So yes, I'll have a sandwich too!!!
