I enjoyed learning about Spike's family history. Great chapter as always!

Wow, hadn't thought Giles would be a Lord. He did what he had to save his estate. Clever how he made sure it stayed this way (tournaments, wild life walk, petting zoo for the kids, hot-air ballooning etc.).
Enjoyed Spike's back story.
Looking forward to Buffy's reaction when she sees the house.

Thanks for the great update!

Wonder where Spike plans on taking Buffy!

Awe, the birthday surprise was a success. :D
And Buffy found out about her surprise. So far Spike didn't tell even if it must have been hard not too.
Looking forward what Buffy will say to it.

Looks like Willow's birthday is going to be loads of fun. :D Loved the update!

Oh :) They've found a good present for Willow. And bringing Spike's dad as a surprise? Joany will love it.
And Willow too :D

Great. They need a little conflict so the make up will be steamy.

Heh heh I can see why Ira is happy to have Spike there to visit. :D
Hopefully Spike will manage to surprise Buffy with the journey to England.
Looking forward to more, Willow's party too.

Ooh sneaky Lilah lol The tabloids will love that story.

Very cute Spuffyness in this chapter :) Spike walking in while Tara was in the room was funny heehee Mmmm Spike in a towel... *drools*

*smooch*

You are not getting boring at all. I'm still very interested in this story just so you know.
I think Buffy was blaming Spike for something that isn't his fault. He did have a life before her and that includes maybe dating someone before her. She was being a little harsh on Spike. I may be a woman but sometimes I feel for a man. Sometimes women like to blame the man in the relationship for everything and put their crankiness on them as well. I also didn't like how Willow and especially Faith was all like Spike is bad because he had life before Buffy. Spike is a good man and they shouldn't be hard on him just because he was with someone else before Buffy. I just wanted to hit all three of them especially Buffy and Faith. Glad to read that Spike and Buffy made up though.

Still here. Thanks for the chapter.
