Cool wine, warm hearth

Long day. Early start to pack, clean the fish tank, deliver the fish to holiday quarters, and off to the airport - with a few stops for vomiting children (why do they find the slip road onto a motorway so nausea-inducing?) An ok flight, despite a threatened return of TallGirl's airsickness. Car hire in Liverpool was quickly sorted and, despite the local signage's best efforts to have us Southbound, we found the M6 and headed north. The usual warm welcome at Mam and Dad's - with added chips.
