We arrived home on Christmas day, yesterday, at 1pm. Our flight from Bangkok left at around midnight and was pretty empty so we managed to get a whole row of seats to ourselves to try and get some sleep. It wasn't very comfortable but we both managed a few hours kip.
We got into Frankfurt at around 5.30am on Christmas morning and had a six and a half hour wait in the airport before our connecting flight to Edinburgh. We strolled around duty free, bought some breakfast and read for an hour or so. It was very boring!!
When we finally flew home the view across the borders and Edinburgh was spectacular. It was a clear day and we could see for miles. We picked up our luggage, unharmed, passed through customs without a hitch and went through into departures where our families were there to meet us.
It was great to see everyone together and I blubbed like a baby again. After some photo taking (oh dear we both looked rough!!!) we went to Karen Wong's Chinese restaurant for our Christmas lunch. It was a great way to catch up over an informal and much more social meal than Christmas dinner. We had 5 courses and lots of coffee then headed home.
It's really cold at home, about 2-3oC, and that's the coldest we've been for 2 years. I got lots of woollie garments for Xmas so hopefully won't perish. I am concerned that my Thai tan will be leached by the Scottish winter...
