No matter how many times we do it it is still a long way!!
We left Norwich at 6 20 on Friday am, arrived Amsterdam in 35 minutes then had a coffee and a bit of breakfast before we boarded the Cape Town flight which departed at 10 am (1 hr ahead of us in uk)settled down, had a bit of a doze , a drink then lunch, watched a film"Little Miss Sunshine"read a bit, oh it is still only 4 pm , another 5 plus hours to go. But it does go and we arrived safely got through immigration and customs , picked up our hire car and we were safely home and having a cup of tea 18 hours later.
Our neighbours are great , they keep a key and they had been in, switched on lights and got us milk and bread and butter in the fridge .
Guess what it's been raining !! some sunshine and blue skies but quite some heavy rain. So it hasn't been too hot!!
We have included a picture of the bougainvillea in our tiny garden , it is doing well especially considering how often it is ignored .
Every Blessing for 2007

Getting ready to go!

It is now 20th of December and every one is looking forward to Christmas. We are also, but on 29th of December if all goes to plan we will be taking off from Norwich to Cape Town, South Africa and there we plan to stay until March 23rd. Before we go Paul is looking into setting up a web cam so we can still keep an eye on what our grand-children are up to!!! Please keep in touch via the blog and leave us your comments.
