First was the final packing and saying our goodbyes to our friends and colleagues in Uganda. We had a lovely final afternoon with a meal and cake beside Lake Victoria and some lovely presents and photos to remember our time in Uganda. Then it was time to hand over the keys to the flat and head to Entebbe airport for our flight home. It all felt very unreal as we sat over lunch in Cafe Kawa on our last day and we really couldn't believe we would be home within 24 hours.
But we were! After a comfortable flight on the last British Airways plane from Entebbe to Heathrow we landed on an autumnal Saturday morning. We cleared immigration and found our cases in record time and headed out to find a coffee before travelling to Oxford. What a lovely surprise to find Ali, Rhian and Kieran all in the arrivals hall with a large 'Welcome Home' sign!
Our weekend in Oxford included a review of their wedding photos, the first time we had seen them, a harvest service and a Sunday lunch. It was a great welcome home.
Since then we've been catching up with friends and family around York, endless unpacking, finding things and sorting out the house and some trips out to enjoy the autumn colours.We have really appreciated the beauty of the season after 2+ years of summer weather. The colours have been beautiful and the weather unseasonably mild.
