Woke up to reports of snow, and Gatwick runway being closed. It wasn't snowing in Lincoln but looked like it was about to. Tidied up the contact house and packed up the car and left as soon as possible. John and Tracy came round to say goodbye.
Alex said, "Isnt it funny how everyone is wearing contacts these days?" Very smart, Alex!!
The drive to Lakenheath was ok, bit slow but the weather was not too bad. Snowed steadily but didn't settle. It helped a bit to worry about the weather actually, it stopped me worrying about leaving Digby for the last time. People moan about Digby sometimes but I have always enjoyed it, and have met some of the most special people in my life there.
Arrived at Lakenheath and left suitcases at reception, while I finally got my retiree ID card and Alex got his first Id card!! He was very impressed with this and I had to get him a lanyard immediately so he could display it!
Mr Smith went off to get the car shipped and I took the boys to lunch.
The room was ready so we moved in. The boys made me laugh when they remembered how last time we stayed down there we has Sophie, but didn't realise no pets were allowed. So we smuggled her in!! Don't ask how we managed to smuggle an 80lb lab with a gimpy leg up two flight of stairs along a corridor to a room without being seen!! and managed all the toilet trips back down again! I really couldn't tell you.
Went the the club for dinner, then back for an early night.
Mr Smith let slip he had forgotten to book children's meals or a vegetarian meal for the nine hour flight! At this stage the conversation becomes x rated!!
Not as bad though as when Mr Smith informed me that we had to get up at 3am the next morning to get the shuttle bus to Gatwick! yes!! 3am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what time I usually get in! What's going on? It's a world gone mad!!
