So after 6 months away and visiting 8 different countries, we have now arrived, reluctantly, back in England. Although its not as cold as we were expecting, which is a bonus!

We have had a fantastic time and visited some amazing places, and we are now hoping that reality doesn't hit us too hard!

Hope that you have enjoyed our blog and will probably see most of you shortly.

Well as it is still such lovely weather here at granny's, she decided to let me do some further exploring. While granny was busy unloading the shopping, she let me out the back door to nose arround like cat's do. There were plenty of birds fluttering arround, getting their last minute feed of the day from the many bird feeders that granny puts in places that I can't reach !! After a while ...

Well I'm woken up quite early to the sound of Granny's voice. She has come to collect me and take me back home with her.Granny looks a different colour !!! quite a lot browner, so she and Grandad have been somewhere hot !! So I collect up all my belongings, get back in my travel basket. Brenda is sad to see me go...says I was her favourite. But I told her ...

We arrive at Stansted at about 8pm and proceed to have a, probably, day old burger somewhere in the airport. Yum. Turns out that all the shops, in the departure lounge and outside, close at about 9pm so we have to sit around for 4 hours before our flight boards with nada to do.

Finally we get on the flight with a load of other backpacker types and head to Malaysia!

Well all of a sudden, I am bundled into my travel basket, with a few of my personal things. Now when I go to the vet, I don't have my toys with me !!!! Just a minute....., I remember Granny packing loads of her clothes into suitcases and getting a bit flustered sorting out lots of other things, including that precious pony going off somewhere ...

... home made arcade games, many of which were very amusing and taking the **** out of all sorts of things - old people, artists,the superstitious.

From there we detoured to our very good friends, The Phillips, down in Southend; and played with the greatest kid the world has ever seen. From there it was a quick trip over the QE2 bridge into the land of milk and honey - Kent.

... your recovery!) It is a great feeling to be home and to see my wife Lynn after our longest period apart in 36 years. Jet lag apart, it is lovely to relax and reflect on what was an extraordinary adventure. Without doubt the highlight was spending five quality weeks with my lovely daughter Jamie. I doubt the opportunity will ever arise again so I shall revel in it for as long as I can! Together we have experienced ...

... Once we reached the car we were presented with the one thing which we had been missing most. Paul had 3 Q magazines and Kerry had a huge bar of Cadburys dairy milk. We got lost getting out of the carpark but after a few hours we were back in Fenstanton drinking wine and reminiscing. So, thankyou to all of our sponsers who made it possible for us to have such a wonderful honeymoon. It really was a trip of a lifetime. xxxxx
