Monday morning, and my first day back to work after my week off. As usual I wish I'd booked my first day back as a half day to ease myself in, it's always hard coming back!
We arrived home from Lincoln around 7pm last night, having set off at 11am. It was a long journey as Luca decided he wouldn't sleep and chatted/gibbered/whined all the way! It was maddening, but he wasn't too bad and mainly just wanted someone to talk to. I tried to listen to my MP3 when it was Caroles turn to drive but was constantly disturbed by various shouts from Luca, intimating that I should not do this!
We'd stopped at Johns house near York on the way up briefly (he's her step brother) to say hello and give Luca a break from the car. Unfortunately, John and his partner have a labrador which, despite being friendly, scared Luca half to death. It was another case of having to carry Luca almost the whole time as he had a death grip on me! Unbeknownst to me Carole had another reason for wanting to stop off - she was dropping an engagement ring off to John he'd asked her to pick up, and he proposed to Jill after we left! So congratulations to them both!
It was sad to have left Lincoln, it's a pretty part of the UK and the weather was warm (no North Sea gales!) every day. Luca and Max really enjoyed playing with each other, and Luca recited his cousins names (Mmmmax, Benny) a thousand times on our way home. Everyone was extremely hospitable during our stay and it couldn't have been easier or more pleasant.
I'll do a proper post tonight with photo's
