Leaving Home

---

We travelled along the western bypass and arrived at the airport at 16:00 after a lovely coffee we decided that it was time for us to part. After a couple of hugs and kisses parted company with Stephen and Bill walking in one direction and me in the other, at the time we were all very emotional.

Clearing customs and finding the departure lounge was a doddle however I thought of singing ’Were Coming Home Newcastle’ as I walked towards boarding gate 3, this was surreal. The flight down to London was not very long basically take off a cup of tea sandwiches and hey presto you are circling around the lights of London waiting for a landing slot at Heathrow. When leaving Newcastle I had a lovely view of the Cheviots in the distance, harvested fields and the sheep all crowned off with a beautiful sunset. This was when I realised that I was lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
