October 2009

We actually manage a week off work, not during winter. Duncan has accumulated considerable over time this year. So we decided to go to the UK for 6 days. We flew from Geneva to Bristol because we thought it would save us time, wrong, Michelle took so long to get though immigration that Duncan has already collected the luggage and had been waiting for a quarter of an hour. This meant we going the back of the queue at the car hire place. We called Duncan's Mum to explain the delay, and then called again to explain the time on the GPS was still Swiss time not UK time. So we were not as late arriving as we though we would be. The Sunday was a grey foggy day, so we spent the time reminiscing, looking a old photos from Duncan's childhood. It was a lovely day. We ended the Day with Kirstie and Logan coming over for dinner. It was the first time Michelle has seen Logan, Duncan saw him when he was about 9 month old. The weather improved to we did get to go to the coast, for some fantastic views. We also managed to catch up with Mandy between regular business trips all through Europe and the UK. Then we spent a lovely day catching up with Meg at Salton House, and a fantastic walk through the gardens and along the estuary before continuing on to Duncan's Dads for the last couple of days. We missed seeing Jake the newest family member, he arrived at 7.20 am on the morning we flew back. We had to check in a 7am so visiting was not possible.
