Lighter and heavier - back to England and home - 1 & 2 September

A very easy night flight - we all slept fairly well, and Joseph elected to sleep rather than watch TV.

Quick transfer between terminals 3 and 5 at Heathrow and our flight to Newcastle was bang on time, arriving at 11.15am  when we were pleased to be met by Rosemary and Ben.

Before leaving the UK we all weighted  ourselves. The aggregate weight of our family on return home was exactly the same as when we left!. The only thing that is considerably lighter is our bank account, but our life experiences we all agreed are considerably enhanced.

Overall our jet lag was not too bad, although Jim and Joesph had a afternoon nap before a refreshing walk on the beach.

Despite the 6 hour time difference we all slept pretty well, and after breakfast in Newcastle we had an easy run down to Leeds arriving just in time for lunch, and to the wonderful surprise of a full fridge thanks to our neighbours Mollie and Keith.

The family consensus is - no regrets!
