It’s been quite the adventure, in a good way.

Travel was pretty tortuous, though – the plane was very late leaving (by about 3 hours) on Friday which ate into our plans for that day.

Still, we landed lunchtime-ish and I was met by everyone so I cried (mostly with happiness and partly relief).

There was much shopping for Daisy and Flossie (new flat) while the sun beat down – phew, what a scorcher.  It was bonkers hot.

However, one of the best bits was going to see the boys.

Not those ones (though I’ve never seen the Kelpies before), but these two.

Efstur and Kappi were on great form and it was wonderful to see them both, looking so good, relaxed and happy.  I’m not gonna lie, but the horses were a nice change from all our shopping.

And then back into choosing colours, which is not my strong point.  After a while, they all began to look a bit the same.

Anyway, I got home last night after another potentially tortuous journey.  The plane was listed as delayed for 2 hours but at the last minute, they found one somewhere (the back of the sofa?) and suddenly we were going home on time!

And this morning, my life went straight back to normal.

And it was all going smoothly, like I had never been away, when OH told me we had ducklings so we had to hurriedly construct a house/run for them to safely grow up in

Honestly, I said no ducklings, please.  Obviously no one was listening.   Still, they are very sweet.

I think I’ve been missed.

I hope so (and Pepper didn’t run away this time and visit the neighbours looking for me).
