Phillipa, Nic and Jes arrive in the UK

Finally after a lot of stress and tribulation, Phillipa, Nic and Jes arrive in the UK. An emotional time at the airport (As you could imagine). My drive to the airport was hair-raising - first time to drive from Wimbledon to Heathrow, at 4am and pissing with rain. Not pleasant. But at the same time very exciting !!!



The kids were excited to see me and see our new home. Then the jetlag started to set in.



I could only get approval on the rental of our place in Wimbledon by 18th Dec, and Phillipa arrived on 22nd Dec - on this day I had to also purchase bunk beds from Ikea in Croydon. Everyone dreads shopping at Ikea over here, mostly because the shops are designed in such a weird way. I totally agree.



Anyway by 4pm, Nic was asleep on the floor of the car and Jes was asleep on Phillipa's lap and there I was trying to drive from Croydon to Wimbledon with 2 mattresses and bunkbeds in the back. Oh the lengths we go for comfort!!
