It was a gorgeous morning when I stumbled out of bed to make some coffee. The sun was lighting up the cliffs and there was a bright blue sky. I wrote my blog for yesterday and finished a bit more of our packing before we went down for breakfast.
I checked the bill - Ooops. I had to point out that they had overcharged by £211. The bill was adjusted and settled. I then started a number of trips back and forth to load the car. We said our goodbyes to Jan and John, set the SatNav and started the journey back to West Sussex. The first sector of the journey saw a very quick run up to Honiton but then we hit the smaller roads as we crossed to Bridport and then Dorchester. We stopped for a coffee and comfort break at Winterbourne Zelston. The next sector toward Bournemouth was a major slowdown and we crawled all the way to the M27 and we watched the SatNav as our ETA kept slipping. In the end, the traffic freed up and we managed to complete the journey in 5 hours (excluding the comfort break) - this was an hour longer than the SatNav's original estimate.
Zoe was at home when we arrived. She had opened up the house and Orangery. She sat with us and chatted about her holiday at Center Parcs and our holiday. I started cooking dinner while she chatted though she didn't stay long.
As we were finishing dinner, Ellie knocked at the door and came in (with her friend, Sophia Rose) to say hello. Once she had left, we locked the door and settled down for a quiet evening.
