We were packed and ready long before Uncle drove us to the SLC airport for our flight to New York Kennedy Airport. It seems that our last couple of trips have been at the mercy of Mother Nature who created monster storms in the cities from whence our aircraft were traveling. This time the storm was in Phoenix where there were torrential downpours and massive thunder and lightning storms. So our aircraft remained there on the ground and our connecting flight and its replacement grew impossible. The Delta people, however, were great and rerouted us through Atlanta so we arrived in England just a few hours behind our original schedule. The flights were good, but sleeping on the plane with its cramped seats is a near impossibility for me.
Matt picked us up at Heathrow and drove us down the M25 and on to Edenbridge. The countryside is lovely as always. When we were settled here, he headed to the hospital to pick up Kim and baby Brigham, who we found to be a fine chappy. In an attempt to avoid falling asleep, I played catch with Nashi for quite some time. Matt and I went to the former Co-op to get a few supplies for supper and the like. Rod will be interested to note that the Co-op has been converted into a Waitrose and is now posh but with less local charm and a much smaller candy and treat aisles than the former (no yards of Jaffacakes).
As yet, there is no schedule for today and the days ahead, but we will try to figure that out soon.
Ready to go!
I do love me some clouds
The sunset as we descended into Atlanta was spectacular
Unable to sleep properly, I watched the sun come up
over the Atlantic Ocean
The ride down into Kent was beautiful
Near Chartwell, the view of the Weald of Kent opens up
The Coach House on the Main Road on Marlpit Hill
The tulip tree is in full bloom
Cute siblings
Connor is in AZ and we are staying in his lovely room again
Nashi and Chibi
Nashi will play catch forever if you are willing
Baby Brigham is a keeper
Waitrose
Fuel for my day
