Holiday over





Six weeks have flown by, the highlights were Mums birthday, trip to Mati and probably the highlight of the lot was Annikas Christening which went particularly well, such a happy event.

Karen and Arnel came round to see Mum off and with Joy and Cora, seemed all quite a good send off, party.

I checked flight time on the internet and all was in order. Joy and 3 kids came with me and mum to the airport, checked the airport departure tax (Peso 550), hired a porter for Mum and it was a trouble free drop off, well i think so anyway as Mum disappeared through to the terminal we weren't able to follow due to security reasons and due to opaque glass a few final waves were all we could manage

We dropped Joy off on the road to Tagum and i drove home witht he 3 kids, through town for a change to home.

All a little bit anti-climactic and the end of Mums visit, plenty of incident, from being stuck in the sand on Samal to hitting (the occasional) winner on the tennis court, a full 6 weeks, reflections will follow but for now, will follow Mums progress on the internet and over to Andy to pick up at the airport tomorrow 6am uk time, 2pm sunday here.
