Back in Guernsey...

It sure is great to be back home on our lovely island - with fantastic weather today, unlike yesterday.

My own journey was easy on the car ferry; although there was thick fog, we made the journey on time - getting home shortly after 2pm - to be greeted by a good friend (with flowers). Richard's daughter had stocked up the fridge for me, with flowers and a welcome home card on the dining room table.

As for Richard is was a different story. Due to the fog, the plane was delayed, which meant making calls all afternoon to the UK hospital and our insurance company. Ambulances were put on stand by in Jersey and back at Gatwick. Anyway, the Guernsey plane was diverted back to Gatwick, only to return back to Guernsey - with Richard getting to our hospital just after 10.00pm; we think the captain made a special effort to get Richard home in conjunction with air traffic control !

Richard has settled in well; we went for a quick walk this evening - and we expect that next Sunday - he will be allowed home for lunch.

Thanks blippers for your continued comments - very supportive. Hopefully, my full blipping and commenting will begin shortly.
