Great excitement here - Darren, Billie Joe, Jay and Jespa finally arrived in the UK. Darren and Jespa came by coach and arrived in Dover at 6.30 a.m. It snowed all the way to the UK and the trip through Belgium was particularly hair raising due to poor visability and speeding vehicles.
Billie Joe and Jay flew to Stansted and arrived at 2.15 p.m.
All the cousins were really excited to see each other and have been playing happily together. The adults were pleased to be together and there has been lots of sharing experiences and catching up on news. We had a belated birthday party for Billie Joe, whose birthday took place in Istanbul yesterday.
The weather feels quite warm as it is 2 degrees outside. The snow has melted a little due to the drizzle that has fallen today. However, it has been grey, grey, grey all day.
