The wife was intending to call the old man in the UK to let him know she was safely back. Unfortunately by the time she’d come out of customs and I’d dragged her off to the school to drop the kids off it was far too late for her to call. 😦
No doubt she *will* call to say she’s safe but it might take longer than you’d expect so we both apologise to the old man and will call asap. 🙂

no probs – good to know your are back safe and sound
