We've arrived home

So what is it that always happens when you arrive home from a trip

Firstly, you step off the plane at Manchester and the temperature of -2, hits you like a brick wall............ brrrrrrr!!!!!

Then you wearily collect your luggage, after a 14 hour journey, and miracle upon miracles they are all together and almost first off, wooohoooo.........

You walk through the exit and are met with a big smile from your son (AAAhhhhhh :-) isn't that sweet but then just when you think your there, you turn a corner and a large sign welcoming you home by name is fixed in the hands of the woman who keeps being sick all the time. Yes Sarah, in her own inimitable style gave us a welcome home to remember. WELCOME HOME GILL & STEVE HOUGHTON (it actually said more but we can't quote here - if you know us well enough, you'll have to phone for the full version)

It just doesn't get any better than this, but as you drive home and chat, the lady with the sign, is sick on route Yuk!! but at least she kept it outside the car. Well Done Pregnant Canadian Lady, you did a good job, just a pity all those police speed cameras filmed the entire sad seqeunce. (We actually had to pull over directly in front of them, in a police van)

We arrive home, a quick cup of tea, YUM, and then reality, empty the cases and ?????????????




Yes the washing emerges from the smelly suitcases, it's almost like being sick but materialistically

Good to be Home though, see some of you soon

Alex and Tara we miss you so Much!!!!!

Awe, you guys.

I love you lots - you know, it's only people of vision that allow Heaven to suffer violence. Heaven wants a dose of excitement and wants us to be the ones that truly lay hold of the Kingdom, before it's time (on earth). Do what God has laid on your heart - and don't compromise with anyone, including me!

I truly enjoyed the reaction my sign brought.

I didn't enjoy the reaction my stomach brought with the car ride, but I guess it can't always be perfect right?
