Imogen and Kieran final day in the UK before there adventure to Australia

At Heathrow

A fairly long car journey for me and some real nerves setting in as I travel with Trish and we spoke about the kids and our feelings about them not being around for a while . I was mixed feelings with excitement and mostly nervous as Imogen is our youngest daughter. Taking this trip with Kieran was a huge step but one that would be great for them and to see the world. From a mothers prospective it must have been very difficult to walk away from there rented home and there belongings that started their home together. Most of their affects put into storage for them on their return and the rest was distributed to us to look after or keep. On arrival at Heathrow terminal both cars arrived at fairly much the same time. We met as we come out of the car park and there they were with their back packs looking nervous. All of us were dealing with the change in our own way with knotted tummies , worrying looks at each other , we all tried to sit and get a drink and lunch before they took their flight. Then a mini drama as we looked down where we were sitting there was a baggage on the floor and no owner. So immediately we informed someone of this but they somehow already knew. I was thinking any minute we are all going to be evacuated . What did people do ? Well, someone picked up the bag and had a look inside. I was cringing at the thought of someone doing that without sending in the police or dogs to sniff out the bag. So anyway whilst we watched what was going on someone picked it up and took it. Some time after a man came along and said was there a bag here. "yes " we said if you hurry they took it that way as a little man run along to get his bag.

time for a little break
