So today I treated myself to lunch at Fortnum & Mason :) and did a little Christmas shopping there before heading back to the flat to start the big pack!
I have just finished packing at 12:15am... and we are waiting to hear that the plane taking me home (hopefully) tomorrow is about to take off from Pearson Airport in about 5 mins..... I say hopefully because for the last 2 days Gatwick has been closed due to snow & ice. They have no deicing equipment. So I have been a little stressed out to say the least. Also we had troubles booking a car to take us to the airport since many companies won't drive in bad weather apparently... AND the Gatwick Express train from Victoria Station hasn't been running also due to ice on the rail lines. Oh what fun little snow does to England!
Anyways so I have left a lot behind for Ben to drop off a children charity shop clothes wise. We are donating, the playpen, the big toys and the Moses basket Ben is going to have it all picked up.
It was very difficult to pack tonight through tears of frustration and sadness now it's all done. plane we HOPE will indeed take off at 9:10am, the airport is hoping to open at 6am.
The car will be here at 4:45am to pick us up since the ride is an hour and a bit in decent weather, not sure what it will be if we get more snow overnight?
So I guess perhaps if I lay down in bed now I will get about 3 hours of sleep. At least Evelyn is sleeping and is happy tonight (so far).
Final thoughts on this home away from home. It was wonderful I loved every minute of it and will miss it all very much. BUT I think I will be back :)
Have a safe flight! : )
