Bramble enjoying the fire

We had our early 05:15 start at the hotel. Once on the plane we got a tour of the taxi-ways of Arlanda airport followed by a return to the gate because one of the motors needed a manual start. (I have visions of jump leads and a 12v battery but I'm sure it's a little more technical than that.) Once the engine roared into life we lifted into the air and eventually arrived in Manchester where Dave and Jude were waiting to meet us.
Back in Blackburn Bramble greeted us enthusiastically. It's good to be remembered by the dog.
It's so good to have arrived!
