It’s been quite the adventure, in a good way.
Travel was pretty tortuous, though – the plane was very late leaving (by about 3 hours) on Friday which ate into our plans for that day.
Still, we landed lunchtime-ish and I was met by everyone so I cried (mostly with happiness and partly relief).
There was much shopping for Daisy and Flossie (new flat) while the sun beat down – phew, what a scorcher. It was bonkers hot.
However, one of the best bits was going to see the boys.
Not those ones (though I’ve never seen the Kelpies before), but these two.
Efstur and Kappi were on great form and it was wonderful to see them both, looking so good, relaxed and happy. I’m not gonna lie, but the horses were a nice change from all our shopping.
And then back into choosing colours, which is not my strong point. After a while, they all began to look a bit the same.
Anyway, I got home last night after another potentially tortuous journey. The plane was listed as delayed for 2 hours but at the last minute, they found one somewhere (the back of the sofa?) and suddenly we were going home on time!
And this morning, my life went straight back to normal.
And it was all going smoothly, like I had never been away, when OH told me we had ducklings so we had to hurriedly construct a house/run for them to safely grow up in
Honestly, I said no ducklings, please. Obviously no one was listening. Still, they are very sweet.
I think I’ve been missed.
I hope so (and Pepper didn’t run away this time and visit the neighbours looking for me).

Back home! Best news ever! I really missed your cheery blog entries & pictures. Thanks so much for the pictures; it might be as close as I get to Scotland for awhile. Everyone looks great. And even the ducks decided to contribute for the return-SURPRISE!
Wow, very eventful! I adore all the photos as usual – but Monster is one of my favourites and that’s a particularly great snap.
So happy you made it home in 1 piece. And to see Kappi and Efstur again is a mighty fine treat.
It sounds like you had a busy but enjoyable few days. I bet you had a lovely welcome home from all the four legged and two legged family!
It sounds wonderful! I’m glad your visit went well, apart from the tedious airport wait. I’m guessing Efstur and Kappi are Icelandics? Well, what a welcome home – duckling delight!
She happy to hear the trip went well, it must have been wonderful to see your girls and the boys. Mamma duck looks very proud. I am sure everyone is glad you are back safe and sound.
Wow ! Monster was so happy to see you. What a lovely smiling face. Pleased your home safe !
Efstur and Kappi looking good. And i’m sure they were just as happy to see you.
Oh, unexpected lump in throat.
I did not realise (or had forgotten?) that you had any contact with Efstur and Kappi, they both look so relaxed and in great condition. Bitter sweet for you all?
glad you are home safe, and that you got to spend time with your girls and Efstur and Kappi.
