Holiday Souvenirs

After yesterday's weather/traffic madness, and the unscheduled but necessary stopover at our friend's house last night, me and the hubby left our respective workplaces early in the afternoon to try and get home. Hubby drove across to meet me not far south of Grangemouth and we started the slow and arduous journey home in tandem, on all the back roads and avoiding all motorways....

The roads were pretty hellish - solid ice in a lot of places - scary stuff. It took us around two and a half hours to get home - not bad considering it usually takes me around an hour using the motorways. We were so glad to be home - my mum was pleased to see us too, her first babysitting stint since coming back from a mega-hot holiday in Egypt turned into a case of house-arrest! The kids were delighted we were home too, if only to show off the fantastic souvenirs brought back from Egypt by their Granny and Grandad...

A stiff drink was called for... and an early night - the total concentration on the roads left us totally wiped out!
