The flight to abu dhabi was 14 hours long - uneventful - the food was excellent and i managed to get some sleep - this was very unusual for me as i dont usually sleep on planes at all - business class does help.
got into abu dhabi about 30 mins early. had a shower and found ourselves a video camera to buy so that we can record the wedding. oh and some duty free vodka and gin for frannie and jim.
Landed at manchester - also about 30 mins early after another 7 hour uneventful flight.
I love manchester airport - customs relaxed and no having to get your bags checked for food stuffs and wood - out of the airport in about 30 mins.
caught up with fiona -ias niece and gave her her wedding shoes and diamond that we had been asked to bring over and then found our next limo.
headed through the peak district and arrived at new tupton slightly before frannie and jim - found the well hidden key and let ourselves in to be greeted my marlo.
yesterday was spend wandering around the shops of chesterfield getting supplies and then we went to the nettle for lunch - wonderful chips!
frannie had a work collegue around for tea last night we dined on a slow cooked sausage casserole with freshly picked broad beans and pea new potatoes and carrots - all wonderfully sweet have been blacked banned from the allotment - i eat too many of the broad beans and peas when picking them
we had a meal at the three horseshoes to check out the wedding night feast venue - misty and haunting but nice food
off exploring today - just pottering then helping freyja move tomorrow to a shared house
then off to cornwall for a couple of days on monday - hopefully the weather will improve a little although it managed not to rain yesterday until the evening - has been a very wet summer so far apparently
