Oh thanks so much everyone
Lissie I do remember your granddaughter having a great time there, hoping my B will so the same
Thanks, and nice to see you! xxx
Di, I will share the pics on FB and put some here on VV as well, to keep everyone updated
Weka, it does look utterly amazing!!! Mick's mum went years ago and dug out all the old pics for Becks and me to look at before she went
Stunning place!
Thanks Jen
xx
Thanks Ton
She said that I could read messages, but as the dogs can't read they will need to see her!
I know my place................
Well all went well, we were out of here for 5.15 am
Straight round to D's to drop the dogs, then on to Gatwick. The traffic got slow around the M25, near the M3 turn-off, as we knew it would at that time of day, but we got to Gatwick in plenty of time, saw her through check in, then watched her go through to Departures. I choked up a bit, and so did she, but I was brave until she was out of sight
We got back to Gloucester at lunchtime, and have been round D's all afternoon as she cooked us a delicious roast lamb dinner followed by bread and butter pudding, so we lolled in chairs all afternoon watching daytime TV, totally stuffed and completely bushed. It was more than 300 miles, the round trip! B is probably somewhere over Nova Scotia at the moment! She has a 3 hour lay-over at Toronto, then another 5 hour flight on to Vancouver, so will be there in the early hours our time, late evening their time!
Thanks so much for the kind messages and good wishes, I will definitely keep you all updated on her adventures
An early night beckons, I reckon
