Well I started this with all good intentions but finding time to actually post things is actually always a challenge.
Having visited India I returned to the UK a couple of times and then back to Texas.
The last trip back to the UK was cut short due to me flying back to Texas to evacuate the family from the potential Rath of Hurricane Rita.
The hurricane moved north at the last minute and never hit where we lived, but we had evacuated before that was known.
The usual 4 hour journey to Dallas took us 12 hours becasue we followed our neighbours down back roads but for many that drive took over 20 hours as over 2.5million people were evacuating. Given the jet lag I was suffering having only landed in Houston from London, on the Wednesday night after having already worked a full day, from not having slept for over 36 hours, my son drove the van family and dog and drinks of water and snacks in convoy to Granville. A little piece of heaven after the long drive and stressed of not knowing our house would be there when we got back.
