We are home

After twelve hours of traveling we got home.

We set off at just before nine in the morning and we got home at about nine in the evening. The journey went really well and the younglings did really well for how long the journey was.

There was a man on the table with us for about half of the journey who was lovely. He shared some of his food with  my younglings. He also kept my daughter entertained. He was lovely. As was the woman who was there for the last part.This is one of the things I like about traveling on a long journey on the train. You get the opportunity to meet new people and spend a nice time with them in a way that you do not really get if I would have flown down to my parents or if I had have driven.

The person who was looking after our home did not sadly put the heating on while we were away so it is taking a while to get the place warm again. Thankfully the pipes did not freeze. It is so nice getting back to the snow and the cold weather.

I have enjoyed my time away but I am glad to be home.

I managed to get to the shops and get some food and milk in for tomorrow, so tomorrow I can have a nice and relaxing day before it is back to school.
