Slowly back to Springtime

Our Hostel was literally at the end of the runway, so it was easy to find our way in the morning.

Once through the ques and security, we were off and away before 9am.

 

We were lucky to be by the window on a beautifully clear morning.

 

And flew right over the ice cap, which was stunning!

 

You don't get much for free on an easyjet flight, but this was a good scenic tour bonus!

 

 

By lunchtime we were back in Manchester, but not quite ready to go home. We pulled off the motorway a few minutes after leaving the airport and went for brunch in the trendy little town of Lymm.

 

We walked off the brunch session along the canal toes path, before ending up back in the town square for ice creams! The sun was so warm, that coffees soon followed on a bench by the old cross. We really didn't want to leave!

 

Eventually we did and just over an hour later we were back at The Cottage, catching the last of the sun in among the Bluebells with a cup of tea.

 

Unpacking the van was quite an epic task - we've been away for weeks now and inside were various bags with wedding clothes, suites and shoes, skis and mountaineering kit - even a box full of champagne came out! In the last two weeks, we've slept in eight different beds, crossed time zones and experienced all manner of temperatures. Having emptied the van, we decided to unpack in the morning, but not before digging out a few evening essentials!
