Arrived at my parents safely

My partner and I along with our younglings are spending the Christmas and Hogmanay (We travelled on Monday 21 december)

The train journey was interesting and very long. We ended up going on further than we were supposed to. My mother told me that the roads were getting icy but that the train went to a stop not too far. I had wanted to get off a bit earlier to break up the journey for the younglings but thankfully they managed well with the extra time on the train. We were ten hours on the one train and one hour on the first train. We spent about twelve hours travelling. We left at about 8.20 so we could catch the train at 8.40. We were on that train for roughly an hour and thankfully that was running on time. this meant that we were able to catch the connecting train with no problems. That was such a busy train (thank goodness that we had reserved seats as there were people standing in the corridor) we were on the train for about ten hours. We were collected from the train station by my mum and dad. I am not sure what time that we got in but I think it was about 8.30.
But we are here and settling in. the younglings have still been waking at night so I still have not had a decent sleep. Hopefully I will get a decent nights sleep tonight.

I also managed to catch up on my Tarot card and rune of the day. With the lead up to coming away I had not managed to do that for a while, but I have done that now. I like drawing a rune and tarot card for each day. It helps me learn more about different tarot cards and it also offers me some useful advise.

The younglings have been behaving well since we got down though and they are being so much better than what they were last year. I suppose that they are a year older helps. But I also think that it helps that not only is my eldest at school but the twins are at nursery.

Though while it is nice being here, I must confess that it will be nice when we get home. Hopefully the wild weather that we are getting at the moment will not stop us from travelling. I am missing the snow as well. Darn that gulf stream for stopping Cornwall getting the snow (though as I said I will be glad if the wild weather stays away while we travel)
