29th Dec, Many happy returns, Rochdale

Last day here today, tonight we pick up the happy family, so today's a day of lasts, last swim in the pool, last trip to the shops and park, last bit of packing, last play with the dog. (I'm really gonna miss that mutt).

We pick up the happy travellers at the airport bang on time, and their so glad to be home, the dog go's nuts (bloody traitor) and the babe's got a touch of jet lag (OK crying a lot), but alls well.

We talk into the night and get invited over for new year's, which we don't thinks gonna happen Co's one of the new dogs strict feeding and medication regime, see, this house sitting lark has it drawbacks. We've got an early start in the morning with new animals and new house, so maybe it ain't so bad after all.

And here they are just landed and all rested from the hols in New Zealand and happy to be home in the warm and hot...

Moving day tomorrow... so busy busy....

We love you kids, see you soon xx
