sorry, no pictures today. hopefully get on to it tomorrow evening. [post updated- now added!]
flights were really good. first leg from auckland to los angeles was quite bumpy, but we all managed to snooze regularly during the 11 hours we were in the air. LA stopover was an ok hour and a bit in a little room. and the final leg to the UK was rather uneventful, but with a gorgeous final approach in to Heathrow over a sun bathed london. i’m looking forward to showing you my photos of that.
and no one threw up or felt really ill. result!
our good friend Clive picked us up from the airport and dropped me off at Andy and Gill’s house so i could pick up their car which they are kindly lending us for a couple of weeks.
i then bought my london weekly season ticket for tomorrow (to save messing around setting up travelcards and photo cards in the morning – my old photo card had me with long hair which dates it a bit).
we all rendezvoused at jane’s parents house and after lunch went for a healthy but freezing walk round ‘the nerd’ near jane’s parent’s house. on the way we passed our old church and popped in to find two good friends drinking cups of tea so that was nice to surprise them and say hello.
despite our best intentions everyone fell asleep at around 5pm and we’ve been in various states of awakeness since.
for those in the UK, Jane and I have now got our old mobile phone numbers back, so drop me an email if you need those!
posts are a bit boring without pictures aren’t they [updated: a few now added back in]
