Oh well..let's talk about my trip..I will do a brief re cap for ya!!
Thursday..arrive at gatwick..flight was good..plenty of leg room...slept for a couple of hours....Di and Sue picked me up..went round Di's and dropped off bags...round to surprise dad who was in the garden and couldn't believe his eyes bless him..he said the great British classic "well I'm buggered" LOL..he kept looking at me and hugging me and looking again to make sure he wasn't dreaming..it was worth every penny....down the pub for drinks in the evening...
Friday....out for a drive with me dad in the country..went to tackley where he was born..took some pics...out to oxford in the evening for cocktails with the girls...
Saturday..had to finally tell dad there was going to be a party at his house because we couldn't get rid of him for the day and we had to do the food and decorate.. he was so excited and got the lawnmower out right away.. party was a lot of fun and we all danced into the wee hours...
Sunday..chilled at di's during the day..my nephews came over for a cuppa...down the pub in the evening..saw my old roommate..back to his house for more drinks...
Monday..went shopping with di in oxford then a quiet night in... <I needed to give my liver a break! >
Tuesday.. shopping in Witney with di and my dad..had a lovely day..found a quaint little pub with gorgeous gardens and had our lunch out there..had the girls round in the evening for supper and drinks...we started talking about old times and it was 2.30 am before they left!!!
Wednesday.. had a day on the river on my brothers boat...had a picnic.. my sister and dad came along too..it was a really nice family day...Wednesday night it was time for me to say my goodbyes..my whole family and Lesters came down the pub to see me off.. I had a few pints of Stella..LOL
Thursday.. a long long trip home...2 hour drive to airport...8 hour flight to Philly...2 hour wait in customs...2 hour flight back to Jacksonville..HOME..exhausted but happy!!
