Croyde, N Devon

Mild excitement is building, finally...

Tomorrow we are off on our first major family trip. For Caroline, it's a family holiday, both for us and to meet with distant relatives; Caroline's mum, her sister and their family, namely Eli's as yet unknown cousins. We're off to Perth, Australia...

For me, it is a family holiday but more to the point, it's a surf trip. The only longitudal mountain to climb is the flight. Nineteen hours on a plane with our eighteen month old son on our laps. Joy!

I try to keep Epicurus in mind, "What is no trouble when it arrives, is an idle worry in anticipation", but it's no good, the reality keeps pushing forward. Nineteen hours. It's going to be emotional.

p.s darling, your spray tan looks lovely x
