It was waiting for us at 'Lost Property' when we arrived at Edinburgh Airport this morning. We grabbed it, paid the £10 handling fee and hopped on a plane down to Exeter. Easy like a Tuesday morning.
The guys at the Lost Property counter really had a field day looking through our snaps. We have more than 3,000 photos on our sim card, and they made it through 2,500 of them! I don't blame them though. I would do the exact same thing if I worked at an airport lost and found. Also, it's not like we have any embarrassing photos in there. Unless you count the 500 selfies of me practising my smize.
Devon (the county in England where Exeter is) gave us the perfect welcome. Lots of YELLOW sun. I emphasise the "yellow" bit, because in Edinburgh we only get white sun in the winter, which is basically just light and not sun at all. Yellow sun is what you want. It's the warm kind. The beautiful, buttery, Vitamin D kind.

Andy's brother BiBi* manages a coffee/wine bar in Exeter and they're throwing a New Year's party tomorrow night. Today's mission was to sort out some balloons for the big event. Card Factory (next door) let us down, claiming they didn't have enough helium for the job. Yeah right. It's obvious they're just hoarding it so that they can sing Alvin & the Chipmunks "Christmas Don't Be Late" on their breaks. Come on, guys. Christmas is over. Give it up.
But luckily Clinton Cards (across the street) stepped up to the challenge. BiBi even threw in some huge silver number balloons to make a giant 2 0 1 5 display. How exciting!
Hope you're enjoying these last couple days of 2014.
Love,
Margaret
