They Have Arrived!

Yep, my parents have made it!


On Saturday they left the UK bound to NZ, stopping off on the way in Singapore. Last year they did the flight straight through and vowed never again, and so this time chose a stop over. They had a fantastic time in Singapore, venturing out into the local shopping centres and taking in the sights of the city.

Then after a night in a lovely hotel they made the last leg to Wellington via Sydney. The views coming into New Zealand were as always stunning from the plane.

At 2.22pm their plane finally touched down meaning they were here.

We waited what seemed like forever, a 35 minute wait for them to come through those doors nearly killed us, but at last they were there.

Many tears, hugs, and kisses later we were on our way to our new home. We had the best time showing them around, Bethany of course showing off her bedroom and receiving many gifts from the UK.

An obligatory BBQ as the first meal and we have just settled down to drinks and stories of the time we have missed together.

The next few weeks are going to be pure bliss. I have never felt as much anticipation as I have today, I was literally ill this morning with the wonder of the day, and now it's here we are hanging onto it like never before.
