Arrived safely at Heathrow at 05:13 having slept for a good deal of the 12:35 hour flight. Travelling West overnight must be the best way to avoid jetlag, as despite the 11 hour time difference, it actually felt like early morning. Train into London, tube to Waterloo and Train to Gillingham were non-eventful apart from me failing to pick up one of our train tickets from the ticket machine at Waterloo and having to buy another ticket - £36 - ouch.
The taxi journey from the station to home looked little different from how we remembered it. Home looks better than when we left - thanks Ali and Sian for hen sitting and hedge trimming, and George for decorating and grass cutting.
Tried to light the Rayburn when we got in, but no gas was flowing from the tank. Turned the fridge on but it's not getting cold. Immersion heater trips the fuse. It's good to be home!
