Relaxed

I'm not going to say it too loud, but I think we're relaxed.

It all started when we had dinner at Gatwick. We went somewhere different where the atmosphere was less frantic that the pub we normally go to. We had a window seat so the kids could use their free binoculars to look at the planes (although not terribly useful in the dark).  There was enough time for duty free shopping and for the kids to have a lovely time in the play zone. Oh and Jim managed a nap too!

There was a slight hiccup on the flight as we hit some nasty turbulence, but the kids don't know that it might be something to be scared of, so giggled like maniac and said it was like going through jelly.  

We had some chores to do before getting here, and even though the roof isn't finished, the kids rooms aren't quite finished, we don't have a porch and steps to get into the house (strange contraption made of panels and scaffolding bits) and Jim fell down the trench in the basement having told the kids to be careful, it is very lovely to be here.
