A new dawn, a new day

Took our son down to Glasgow yesterday to catch the first of 3 flights that will take him to New Zealand. He could have caught the bus but we thought a 7 hour bus journey followed by almost 30 hours of flying was a bit much, mind you the car journey took nearly 5 hours but at least we got to see him off at the airport.

This is a pic of the moon at 7 oclock this morning when I let the dogs out.

I am currently tracking son' second flight (from Dubai to Sydney), he is currently 9 hours into a 13hr 20 minute flight. For a boy who has only flown twice before in his life, both times from Inverness to London, barely more than 1hrs flying time, the journey to NZ is pretty epic.

It is all change in our household, with our son away for 8 weeks and younger daughter and her boyfriend finally getting their own flat, I feel a sense of impending empty nest syndrome!
