Storms and chickens

[hillfamily]

Well Charlie left for a weeks skiing trip with the school at lunchtime and so far I've had 3 texts and a phone call and that was only upto 6pm

 

She has been away before but that was only for 3 nights a few years ago - she does love home (and her snuggly bed complete with furry purry kitten)

 

Cooked her her favourite meal before she left - pork and apple meatballs in a bbq sauce with creamy mash. No proper meals now until they reach Austria in 22 hours .

I hope she's not too homesick Pamster. I'm sure that once they arrive from the limbo of travelling, and get down to the serious business of enjoying themselves, she will be fine.

[riane]

Ahh, try not to worry she will have a great time and although she will miss you she will enjoy the wonderful environmnet, fresh air and skiing...try to enjoy your free time

[theherd123]

Oh Pam im sure Charlie will have a wonderful time esp when the travelling is over like Claret says.

 

She will love the ski holiday but will equally love coming back home to you and another fab dinner too

[hillfamily]

I know she'll have a fab time skiing and 2 of her friends are on the trip - so it'll be giggles all round

 

It's very quiet here - Ollie hasn't got anyone to argue with I shall enjoy the peace and quiet whilst it lasts

[chelsea]

everyone seems to be skiing at the moment!

 

She'll have a fab time

[susanbb]

Oh I'm sure once she gets to her desination she'll be fine. It'll be a great experience for her.

[Egluntyne]

I think I know who is fretting.

 

They are very conspicuous by their absence aren't they.

 

She'll soon be home, with a bag of dirty washing as big as she is!

[Snowy]

Bless her, it is a long time travelling isn't it? But she'll have a fabulous time.! Now why didn't they do school trips like that when I was at school? My neighbours daughter (year 11) is in California!

Noooooooooo - I'm hoping to catch up with the washing and ironing whilst she's away. The child has the ability to wear every single item of clothing in a day - it's the leaving it on her bedroom floor for 2 weeks that makes it dirty

[Cate in NZ]

I'm sure she'll have a great time, although that trip sounds like a bit of an endurance test to me .

 

Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts

[hillfamily]

It is just a tad bit of a long journey - all the way by coach to keep cost of the trip down

 

Wouldn't want to be one of the 5 teachers stuck on the coach with 40 very excited children

It would be fairly high up on my list of nightmares

[hillfamily]

Well she texted at luchtime and they have arrived safely

 

She did make me :lol: .........she said wow what a lot of snow

 

.......and made me ........said she misses me loads

That's worth a lot! You must be a lovely Ma.

[hillfamily]

Well she's home.......

 

Got back at midday having left Austria at 6pm last night, the coach made good time travelling to the port in France and was able to get an earlier ferry.

 

She's had a great big curry for lunch and is now tucked up in bed sound asleep..........ahhhhhhh...... Even at 14 they look lovely when they're asleep

 

Oh and her arm is all strapped up :shock: and we've got a nice set of Austrian Xrays of her arm on a CD rom 8)

It's not broken, just badly sprained. She can take the bandages off tomorrow

She was most upset.........not at hurting her arm, but she missed the best dinner of week whilst going to the hospital Didn't spoil her holiday and she was able to carry on skiing OK

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Help, I thought for a moment she'd broken it . Glad it's not too serious.

 

It must be lovely to have her home . Is the bag of washing bigger than she is?

[hillfamily]

Yup Good job I got all our washing done yesterday..........washing machine will be working hard all weekend

 

I thought at first she had broken it as, all I could see were bandages sticking out of her fleece

[Egluntyne]

Am glad she is home in one piece...even though a bit battered.

 

Poor thing.

 

Am glad to hear that it didn't stop her from skiing.

[Cate in NZ]

Great to hear that she's home, and it sounds like she had a brilliant holiday. Pity about the arm though, I hope it heals quickly.

[Karen & co.]

I'm glad to hear she is home safe and sound Glad that her arm is only sprained.

[Tiggy]

[Jules.]

Great news that she is home safely.

Hope the arm gets better soon.

[theherd123]

So pleased she is home safe and sound.

 

Big hugs to her esp as she has a bad arm
