The big arrival

The big day finally arrived, and at half past five I was up and cleaning the kitchen because we weren't leaving until half ast seven and I'd already got everything ready the day before!  Father-in-law and horse box arrived and we were off!  Until halfway there the car decided that it had had enough and stopped.  And could not be persuaded to continue.  We were brought home, minus the horsebox, which had been hired for the day and was now in a garage an hour and a half away.  So change of car and off again.  Luckily this time we made it there and even more relief when the animals decided that maybe the horsebox was not to be feared too much.  The way home was also quite eventful with near zero visibilty through thunder storms in the mountains.  Father-in-law remained stoic and at half past seven, a mere twelve hours after we first set off,  Caramel and Sophie were welcomed into their new house by pyjama-ed children and a relieved husband.  Here are a few little pictures of them.  Enjoy.
