Dear Readers I think that long haul flights may be a bit like childbirth.

You think, "that wasn't so bad" so you go ahead and do it again, until half way through the process when you scream "what was I thinking"!

But- we survived, its getting harder as we get older.

12th January 

0730 -  Awake and traveled to George's for lunch and to repack our cases. Worried they'll be too heavy, throw out lots of stuff...

20:45 - plane leaves from Heathrow.

Thats already 13+ hours awake. 

Saturday vanished somewhere in Dubai.

14th January - Sunday

22hrs+ on the plane arrive Sydney plane late, nearly 0700, very little sleep on the plane.

Thats now 35+ hours awake.

Wait in airport until 12:15 for Armidale flight.

Thats now 40+ hours....

Plane late - technical problems. But finally home. All well, garden looks dry and messy.

Collected Miss Lizzy "Yippee"

By 19:00 pretty stuffed - more than 47 hours awake! Asleep as soon as head hits pillow, wide awake again at 01:00.... hummmm.

 

Here we are above, looking particularly daggy in our coats in Portsmouth.

Best Bits?

Definitely, the German Christmas markets. Christmas is different over there. Smells different, feels different, looks different.... Is different..

Other good bits - Blenheim Palace was pretty wonderful. Loved Carisbrooke Castle and the Isle of Wight. And my mate below.

Worst Bits

 Getting colds

Hauling luggage about

Rain
being asked if we had seniors cards (don't blame me, that's Grahams fault)

Last few posts got a bit delayed as Live Writer packed it in, so if these last few posts look a bit different that's why.... I may have to download Live Writer again or find a new blog system.

Miss Lizzy was very pleased to see us .... 
"Good grief, my Mum's Dear Readers, 7 weeks they left me at that kennel place,  that's nearly a whole dog year! But, I'm very pleased they are home so I can give them some Lizzy love"...
