In 11 hours time Olly, Sally, Noah, Anna and Libby will be landing a Heathrow Airport after a long journey from Freetown, Sierra Leone via Banjul (Gambia) and Brussels, Belgium. We will be there to meet them, along with Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie and Wendy and Dave (Sally's Mum and stepfather). Then we will all drive in convoy to Pippin Cottage for a weekend of re-union and celebration. Claire, Thomas and Sophie have not seen Olly and his family for five years so there will be much to talk about. Jenny has been cooking for weeks and the larder and deep freeze are full of lovely meals. We've made the landing into a small bedroom for Noah (see photos) and a local craftsman has built a big wardrobe in the bedroom where Anna and Sophie will sleep - Jenny has wanted another wardrobe for some time and the return of the family was a good reason for finally having one. It was only finished a week ago since when I've given it three coats of paint, as the photos show.
