The Eagle has landed!

Aaaaah………….. and breathe……..

A picture paints a thousand words, they say. Here it is, the scene I wasn’t sure would ever happen again – relaxed, happy and absolutely thrilled that the Oz contingent have made it!!

Gosh, emotional scenes were witnessed as Graham and Gail emerged from the Maglev carriage at Birmingham International Station this afternoon. Tears of happiness streamed down my face – and, I think, the others’ too. Hugs all round. “You nearly had me going then, as well,” said Andrew, as he watched us take in the reality of their arrival. We had been waiting a little while after the plane had landed, so the minute I saw them I flew across the corridor and into their arms. A balm for my soul.

We travelled home and offered refreshments and then sat back ready to share our stories. We talked non-stop until nine o’clock this evening, which was approximately six o’clock in the morning for Graham and Gail – meaning that they had effectively been up all night. They were tired though – it had been a very long journey.

We’d had an emotional morning with Paul, Michael and Andrew, sorting out a bit more of the detail to Mum’s funeral, followed by an emotional afternoon, so guess what? We’re whacked now and an early night all round!!

But wow, big news today folks – my big brother and his fabulous wife are back for a little while. ❤❤❤

Take care everyone. God bless.
