After most of the day on the road
We had a tea of crushed sprouts and ham
Without unpacking the luggage
The dogs have reunited and as one are galloping around the cottage one minute then
Climbing on Chris who is resting weakly on the couch under his laura Ashley throw the other
I have enjoyed our time in Kent
We even got out together on our own...which is a rarity
So our New Years resolution is to have more nights out Together!
Fat chance tonight though
As Albert has just hurtled through the cat flap with a wide grin on his chops to be reunited with
best buddy Winnie!
best buddy Winnie!
It's like the bloody finale of Lassie Come Home
Not a dry eye in the house
Not a dry eye in the house
Thank God you're back. zzzzzz x
ReplyDeleteAnd in one piece too old gal x
Delete"It's like the bloody finale of Lassie Come Home" ... except perhaps for the tea and sprouts... and the use of the word "bloody."
ReplyDeleteWell I needed to guild the lily

ReplyDeleteAh, the joys of home!
ReplyDeletehome is best...especially for Albert and Winnie!
ReplyDeleteAhh, good to be home though, I'm sure.

ReplyDeleteNothing like home.

Mmmm...crushed sprouts and ham! My favourite! Add a dollop of English mustard and a raw egg then you are in culinary heaven! Eat your heart out Heston Blumentahl Ye great Fat Duck or something that rhymes with that!
ReplyDeleteAnd ripe to give Chris a dutch oven........:)
DeleteIt's lovely to have you all back home again.

Wait...are you telling me you drove across the bleedin' country in a single day? Miss Chef and I drove ~11 hours Saturday, and didn't even leave the Mid-Atlantic region. map
ReplyDeleteSweet Chris is included in the welcome to normalcy routine.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, all is well. Everyone is home all toasty and happy !
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Glad everyone is home safe and sound!
ReplyDeleteWe can all rest easy now! The family is together.... Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Alison above...the whole country? We can drive from Houston to El Paso, it's an 11 hour drive. 741 miles. And we never, ever leave the STATE OF TEXAS.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the world an amazing place?
I think the whole of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, all fit into the area the size of California. I read that somewhere once.
DeleteCrushed sprouts??? How the hell do you crush sprouts? But I'm so glad you're home safe! (East west, home's best.)
ReplyDeleteIt is good to get away, but there is no place like home.
ReplyDeleteI love coming home more than any other part of the trip!
ReplyDeleteSo what does the purple pin represent?
ReplyDelete'Albert heart Winnie'. By no means the first case of inter-species infatuation. It happens all the time in Disney.
ReplyDeleteLovely trip & all reunited for the new year celebrations!
ReplyDeleteGood to have you back where you belong! Love the description of the reunion with the family. I hurry home after an afternoon away at Oxfam to see my dog again, though I don't think he is as glad to see me as I am to see him! ( He hasn't been alone) Happy New Year to you and the dapper Chris. xx
ReplyDeleteGood to get away but better to get home again¬
ReplyDeleteWhat a long journey , glad you are home safely .
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. That is quite a haul, espesh with a terrier on board!
ReplyDeletecrushed sprouts sounds explosive !
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely the moments when the animals are reunited both with each other and with you isn't it,.... and then the petty squabbles start and everything is suddenly back to normal again.
Welcome home! Don't let Winnie near the sprouts.......
ReplyDeleteAnd a grand vacation was had by all.
ReplyDeleteClose your eyes and say " Theres no place like home... Theres no place like home..." Makes my heart flutter!
ReplyDeleteBut how lovely that they all get on so well. Happy New Year to you and to Chris - your big year remember.
ReplyDeleteDorothy was right - there IS no place like home.
ReplyDeleteThis reminded me of my work trip to Tenby, do you know how far away Tenby is from Broadstairs?!!!!! I thought we were going to end up in Ireland! Glad you had a good time here 😊
ReplyDeleteWould make a good long distance walk. Is there a footpath over the Dartford Crossing? ;o)
