...but not without further incident!
When checking in Steve was told that we had 2 seats together and the other 3 were spread out all over the 'plane. Because we had booked for wheelchair assistance we were unable to check-in online whereas the vast majority of passengers had done exactly that. Also, a British Airways flight had been absorbed into our flight so there were families from that flight in the same position. It almost got ugly at the desk when boarding as families sounded off about the stupidity of asking small children to sit by themselves. Thankfully, as families boarded first in economy most of the issues seemed to be resolved happily.
We actually decided not to use the wheelchair this time as it was easier for me to push a trolley and I was feeling stronger. Rose, bless her, had pushed one of the trollies in Singapore when we arrived and although she did a good job, it was a bit difficult for her.
Naomi was struggling to stay awake as we went through the departure lounge and laid herself out on the row of chairs and conked out about 15 minutes before we boarded!
Naomi and Joshua slept most of the night portion of the flight. Rose not quite so much.
And so we landed in London with it being 8 degrees!! As we waited for dad to pull the car round, we all felt rather chilly.
It rained all day. But it did not matter because we spent the day with my family and Steve's sister. It's good to be back.
