I don't know how many times we have driven from Aberdeen to Teesside and back again in the last 4 years, but it's definitely more than I can count on 1 hand.
Our journey on Friday, though, as we left our house for the last time, was definitely the worst.
WE eventually left at 11.15am. Ten minutes down the road, we had a phone call from the estate agents asking us to collect something, so we turned back. By then, it was Samuel's lunchtime, so we decided to feed him, and have a sandwich ourselves. We set off for a second time at 12.30pm. Driving through Aberdeen was horrendous! There was so much traffic. Then, before we had even reached Dundee, we were stuck in roadworks. We took a wrong turning in Edinburgh (how many times have we driven that way?), and all this before we had even left Scotland! There was more to come.
Needless to say, during the journey, I asked myself several times, were we doing the right thing?
God answered my question late on Saturday afternoon when I couldn't get Samuel to sleep, and had a million and one things to do before he went to bed. My mother- and father-in-law offered to take him out for a walk. I had 35 minutes to myself, to get on with other jobs!
This is why we have moved back to Teesside! Thank God for Grandparents!!!
