Back to Blighty

Well, after a few last minute alterations to our plans, we have returned to the uk safe and sound. A day ahead of schedule just to surprise some unsuspecting relatives. The journey home was going smoothly until we hit the wonderful motorway network that this country is renowned for. The first accident on the M20, then one on the M26 and dare I mention the M25. Fourteen weeks and 6500 miles of travelling in France and Spain and we only saw one traffic jam, our journey home saw us caught up in one of the biggest jams ever as an accident closed the M3 for nearly 3 hours seeing unimaginable tailbacks. On the brighter side of life, everyone was chuffed to see us and a few beers were consumed to celebrate our safe return. The house purchase appears to have gone smoothly and, during the consultations to purchase the adjacent field, we also bought 2 hectares of valley, forest and stream for the kids play area. Off for a hearty breakfast now, but will put some more news and pictures up later.
