We left Denver airport at about 8:30pm (as we had to wait for a delayed flight in with passengers for our flight). We had a fairly pleasant flight except for a baby that cried quite a lot. Got woken up at 3:30am to have breakfast!! On landing at Heathrow, we had to move our clocks 6 hours forward, so the body was quite out of sync.
Leanne was waiting for us, and it was quite an emotional moment for us both. It was soooo great to see her and I know the short time we have together is going to be really special. We waited for my friend Gigs to arrive and again when she did, it was fantastic to see her again – I last saw her about 18 months ago and we have been friends since 1970!
We got onto a bus to take us to the car hire and packed all our things into the boot and then we were off to Southampton to a village called Whiteley where our good friends Mark and Claire live. They have a lovely house and we had a good afternoon, catching up, chatting and drinking wine in the sun – brilliant. Later that evening we went to the Tichfield Mill for dinner. Gigs and I had piri piri chicken, Claire had scampi, Dereck had gammon, Leanne had a burger and Mark had fish. Claire, Gigs and I shared an apple, gooseberry and honey crumble and Leanne had a chocolate brownie. All very yummy!!
From there we had coffee at home and chatted for a bit before retiring.

I can imagine all the emotions coming to the surface being able to give Leanne a hug up close and personal. Enjoy your time together. Hugs from Desire
