Closer ...

Mum arrived back home yesterday after a successful operation. So I feel much more comfortable about going away, knowing she is back where she prefers to be. The weather was not kind to Mike when he transferred her, though, and today the snow continues - we have had a good 4-5 inches this morning. But I'm continuing to pack in the hope that a) we get to Heathrow and b) the plane to Dubai takes off around its scheduled time of 2130.
