It was much pleasanter at home, when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. Alice.

And so home we've come.  A relatively uneventful flight from Manchester.  The kids were AMAZING.  Every passenger around them on each of our flights commented on how perfect they were (say "Pahhhhh-FECT!"  No, really.  They talk like that.  I thought they were joking around, but it's apparently real.)

We treated ourselves to a caramel apple -- and it was just the thing.
