WOW, you guys have been busy posting while I have been away!
The trip down was fine, apart from the connection being cancelled & myself & Luke running for the next train as fast as our leggs would carry us!!!

The Thursday was my birthday so I went to my brothers house & had dinner with them & their son Ben... Ben is ALSO Star Wars MAD so him & Luke got on like a house on fire!!!

Friday was the funeral, which went off okay. Luke was as good as gold & didn't make a fuss or a noise at all. I was very proud of him.
The weekend involved an unplanned Christmas shopping trip... my brother said they were going to Plymouth for the day & we could tag along, so we did.. & had a hilarious time!!! My brother nearly got into a case of road-rage cos a guy cut him off at some traffic lights... they both pulled over as paint had been traded & he realised they guy in the other car was his best friend from primary school he hadn't seen in years!!! So, instead of exchanging insurance details, they exchanged addresses, phone numbers & email addresses!!!
So, all in all, a very eventful week...
We both got home in one peice (after 12 hours on the train on the way home) & are looking forward to getting back to normality... WHATEVER THAT IS!!!
