Home again...

Wednesday, June 17. Sunny, all the half way round the world.

We were up at 5:15, coffee, dressed, breakfast and ready to disembark at 7:15, we got off at 8:00. At the airport in jig time and through all the security stuff and sitting in the KLM lounger munching cheese on a bun with tea by 10:00.

Soon we were in the plane which took off at 1:35 and we landed in Vancouver at 1:35. Nine hour flight and nine hour time difference. I slept for maybe three hours, Fellette somewhat less. The journey from the airport home took 1 1/2 hours due to traffic.

We were in the garden having tea and surveying the damage incurred by our 19 day absence within minutes of arriving home. Not too bad: nothing that a little weeding and some watering won't fix in a couple of days. Fellette picked some berries and snap peas and we retired to our house. Jeanette and Alicia came for a visit which is always nice. Happy to be home and looking forward to bed tonight for sure.

This will be THE LAST POST folks, until we take off someday for some place interesting. 

Hope you enjoyed the trip.

Seated and ready for the day. This was eight hours after we got up. 
It was a very long day today.

10 minutes after take off. Nice way to start the journey home.

The TV monitor at our seat showing our progress.

KLM handed out these little bottles of Amsterdam Historic Houses just before we landed. 
One for each of us. A small amount of liqueur in each.

Checking the garden this afternoon.

The acorn squash have gone amok!

Same as the onions and potatoes.

We thought that the birds would have the cherries by now but they are not quite ripe enough for them.

Into the raspberries for tomorrow's breakfast. They need to have some long drinks of water.
