Here we go

150kg of luggage, one baby, hand luggage and a huge bag of nerves, we arrive at Heathrow ready for the journey we've waited about 18 months for.  Ok, things have been busy during that wait, but finally the day has arrived.  

Saying goodbye earlier in the day was possibly the hardest thing I've had to do and there were plenty of tears as we drove down the A1, followed by an argument at Heathrow fuelled entirely by nerves and emotion.  

All recovered, some food and then almost late for the flight we'd arrived five hours early for,  we were off.  Alex was just perfect on the flight and slept almost the entire way, bless him.
