Arrived safe and sound.....

After a shaky start by me on the plane with a teensy weeny panic attack, the flight wasn't too bad. It was 11 1/2 hours to LA then 9 1/2 to Heathrow. Yesterday when we got to my mum and dads my sister Sandra had been busy with the banners and banners and a champagne lunch.



Today we walked into Luton town centre and had a wander through the shops. Joe and Michael have bought some running shoes, they are so much cheaper in the UK than NZ, I found a rather nice top which I'll show when I wear it, I've already noticed where the op shops are :D. 

We had lunch with Joe's mum and spent a few hours there when his brother Charles got home
 Joe's mum Mary and Evie

Charles and Joe, a matching pair!

My brother Ian and his family arrived back from a short trip to Hamburg this evening and called in to mum and dads for a while before going of to Sandra's to put a couple of tired boys to bed.
I haven't taken many pic yet but I'll get onto it tomorrow.

I'll be back tomorrow with more photos, no real jetlag, just a little tired so I'll be off to my bed now

You can see a few more photos here

bye for now ♥

I will need photos, lots of photos and a detailed report of course. Remember to give your mum a hug for me and tell your dad, one last wave from me!!

  2. Have a wonderful time while you are back in the UK - do you think of it as 'home' or do you think of NZ as 'home'? This always interests me.

    I am a NZ'er living in the UK, so I have done it the other way round!

    Not that far from Luton!
