Day 21
Arrived at Manchester Airport and thought “wouldn’t it be funny if we saw somebody we knew” and then heard “isn’t that Johnny?” as we exited customs only to turn round to see his cousin Susan and her husband Anthony 😳.

Also by chance I learnt my cousin Julie and her husband Tony were in the country for a few days from South Africa, and so with all the planets aligned the three cousins (Julie, my sister and myself) were all in the Northern hemisphere at the same time and able to catch up for a quick drink at the evening family gathering. Fate doing its thing 😊

We had the most amazing time catching up with family we had not seen for a very long time, and one not even born when we had left, at Cross Keys in Uppermill, with Kalebh and Jordyn who had flown in the day before. Some hadn’t changed a bit and others almost unrecognisable. It was so lovely to see Kalebh getting on so well with his cousins. Johnny enjoyed a pint ( or several) and I was introduced to Gin.Read more

Day 27
Today Kalebh and Jordyn left us for the next part of their adventure- I am sure they will have an awesome time relaxing in the sun from their pool access room and swim up bar in Thailand.

Hayley and I took advantage of the beautiful day and walked into Uppermill via the canal for lunch and a mooch around the shops whilst Johnny went for yet another run this time on Marsden Moor.

Finished the day with a lovely meal at Dinnerstones with Hayley and Simon- thank you so much for your generosityRead more

'in' with the country crowd

Day 29
'In’ with the country crowd at the pony club watching Hayley compete in her first show jumping comp with Cola, and they came 3rd 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Attempted Dovestones but the car park was full of tourists going for a Sunday stroll 😳 - will have to try to give it another go before we leave.

Walked into Uppermill with Johnny to spend the afternoon with my school friends Joanne and Rachel chatting over coffee and cake, whilst Johnny pub crawled it back home - found him a few hours later just a little tipsy still walking back up the lane 😜

Spent the evening at The Diggle - dinner and drinks with Hayley and Simon and their friends.Read more

Final Goodbyes

Day 32
Last full day
Morning walk around Dovestones reservoir- where has all the water gone? 😳 Found Indians Head and then Celebration Wood which overlooks the water and where Johnny has decided his final resting place will be.

Lunch with Mum, Dad and Pippa, and sad goodbyes until next time 😢

After trying to squish everything back in the cases ready for our flights back to Australia in the morning, we decided to head to the Cross Keys Inn for dinner by the fire -we started the UK part of our trip at the Cross Keys so it seemed fitting to end our trip there.

Ended the day feeling more than a little crappy with sinusitis and cold symptoms, so dosed myself up and headed to bed hoping to wake up feeling a bit better😷Read more

Day 22
So our new home for our UK stay is THE MOST beautiful stone cottage in THE MOST beautiful location set amongst rolling hills with babbling brooks and sheep and cows leaning over the fence line and a resident pooch called Spike. And best of all, this luxury 5* accomodation hasn’t cost a penny - thanks Hayley and Simon for your hospitality and Summer for your bed 😘. Oh and our car - a MASSIVE Landrover Freelander which I am NOT looking forward to driving down the narrow lanes - and if I come across a car coming in the other direction I am just going to look petrified in the hope they will do the reversing.

After a meaner down the country lanes I headed into Manchester for a catch up with my school friends and Johnny went for a much anticipated run on the Pennine Way which was “bloody fantastic” and then caught up with his family for Sunday Lunch.

Tonight’s gin tasting session was home made sloe gin with apple and cinnamon.Read more

Breakfast with the family then a pamper sesh with pedicure whilst Johnny went on ANOTHER run - a final skidaddle up to the Rams Head- cut a little short due to the weather 😢
