Hi everyone, , Our journey from Capetown to Heathrow took 12 hours ,the flight took for ever. We got back to Thundersley at 10pm, Debra.. Michael and Sam were waiting for us to arrive home, it was good to see them, they stayed for an hour then headed off home so we could all get to bed.

Debra and Michael invited us to Sunday lunch...all the family had been invited too, so we could all be together for Mothers day, Michael said we were having suckling pig...Aggie asked if we had one each !!! On Sunday morning Katie and Dave arrived to our house ...early, we have missed our kids so much it was good to see them all again.

Paul had taken his family off to Disneyworld.....Paris. for a few days and would not be back until Monday,so we will see them when they return.

The day went so quickly catching up with everyones news.and us telling them about our adventure ....Dinner was yummy plenty to drink and lots to eat.So today George and I have sorted all the mail, unpacked, been shopping, taxed the cars , I feel worn out !!
