Airport Quickie (Sarah)

Ben and I have just finished... checking in for our flight to Gibraltar. We are now ending our short trip to England which has been fantastic, it has been so lovely to catch up with family and meet Joe (my nephew). We had a great night out Friday with Paul and Vicky (cousins) which was only slightly marred by me spilling 2 pints on to Paul, which he caught ninja style avoiding catastrophe, but still getting a rather wet crotch.

We lazed around on Saturday and then Mama took the whole family out for a gorgeous Italian meal then we all trooped back to Nina's for a relaxing night over a couple of bottles of wine and a couple of beers.

We had the full gamut of weather while we have been here the high light for me has been the snow on Sunday. It started coming down so I rugged up and ran out the front to enjoy the sensation. It was surprisingly wet !! Of course Ben popped out in his t - shirt to the amusement of the Mancunians who were heard to utter 'typical bloody Aussie'.

Sunday Ben and I (well mainly Ben) cooked up a yummy roast to say thank you to Nina for having us and to see the family one more time before we flew out. I was rather happy to have Yorkshire pudding as I haven't the frozen ones back home and cant make them to save myself.

It was sad to say goodbye and I had a tear in my eye after Mama left for the night but we are hoping to come back this way in about 18 months, when Joe will be decidedly bigger!!

Were very excited to be heading off for Gibraltar, our driver Chris will be picking us up which is great and we will be repaying him with a bottle of Bundy so that he can dance with the bear tonight. We are staying in a camp ground in Spain and meeting up with everyone as they arrive over the next few days. We will be heading out to see the rock and the monkeys (the first of many) in the next week and we will also get around to putting some photos up for you all to have a squizz at.

see ya later alligator
