April 26th
We have arrived back in the UK. Flight leaving Singapore was on time, we had the emergency exit seats so plenty of legroom and could move around without disturbing anyone. A meal was served at 12.45 am, Ian declined opting for a couple of glasses of JD and coke instead. I tried the beef curry, very nice but at that time of night, couldn't finish the meal. Both of us managed to get some sleep, I had at least 4 hours and watched three films. We landed UK time at 6.35 am after a 14-hour flight. The sun was peaking up over the horizon. Managed to take these with Ian's phone.
Our son Colin was waiting, gosh how I have missed his hugs. Iwona was at work in London and the grandsons were at school. Can't wait to see them later. Toffee was ecstatic when she saw us. 6 months away and I did wonder if she would remember who we were. Colin took this not long after we had arrived at his place.
It's great to be back although didn't think much of the 11 degree temperatures. We will stop with our son until Friday. Get over the jet lag and then take the National Express to Langley Mill. I expect FS will feel cold when we arrive. Then comes the mammoth task of making beds, filling with water, shopping and collecting the car. Until we have our vehicle we can't get over to see Christine and Kev and our other grandsons. Can't wait to give them massive hugs as well.

Theres nothing better after on overseas holiday than flying into your own country and looking down in the sights you love. You have had a marvelous mammoth trip!
That is very true Jenny, Home is always where the heart is and we were so ready to come home and see the family. What a holiday though, amazing and one of our all-time best experiences ever.
Welcome home. Jennie
Welcome back, you can now relax and have time to reflect on your numerous wonderful adventures.
Grrreat experiences of so many magical places, I think you may have covered more of NZ than the McDonalds!
I really enjoyed following your travel blog, especially with all those beautiful photos that you shared with us from Aus, NZ and Singapore.
Would you believe... we have never been on a plane, so it's been nice to experience it all with you along the way.
Thank you.
