The left behind biscuit

I found this half a rabbit shortbread biscuit this morning in the dining room.......the eye looking at me was nearly my undoing!
I expect Finn would love this just at this minute, the flight has been diverted to Columbo in Shri Lanka. Someone was taken ill on the plane so they have been delayed at least three hours, not so good for all concerned!

Three good things:
1. Flightrader24 for up to date information.
2. Half a shortbread rabbit to eat up!
3. The kindness of 365 friends with offers of meet ups & even beds for my Lydia & Beth whilst traveling round NZ.
Makes me tear up too! Adorable. Hope they get back in the air and safely home soon

I'm glad you won't waste the rabbit! That's the trouble with travel - it would be so much easier if everything went according to plan. Hope the delay won't be as much as expected.

So very sweet! I expect Finn would love to be finishing that off right now...at Gran's house and not in Sri Lanka. Wishing your travelers an uneventful rest-of-the-way home!

@jgpittenger @peggysirk @quietpurplehaze Just heard from Lydia, they are about six hours from Sydney so seem to be making good time. They weren't allowed off at the airport.....poor Jo minding two little boys!

This is so sweet and lovely.How bad for them to be delayed, when the flight is long enough already

Here's me worrying about a 2 and bit hour flight alone with littlest in sept! All the way nz alone with little ones is tough! It'll seem quiet tonight. Any more visitors due or quiet on family front now? Bet they'll miss you lots!

@newbank Quiet on the family front Ruth but full up this weekend it's B&B s local two day agriculture show this Saturday & Sunday.

Naw this has bought a tear to my eye as well.. you will miss those cuddles.. count down till you see them next.. perhaps this technology gives too much information perhaps sometimes it pays to be ignorant and just get a phone call when landed in NZ.. Sun shining today so hope it not too much of a shock for them..

Awwww .... what a lovely card! :)
July 15th, 2015  
This card was nicely chosen to come from the children! It would make you remember all the cuddles you did have! Don't you have some pictures in this upcoming show?
July 15th, 2015  
@maggiemae Yes I am entering some photos ...I need to sort them out but am not very hopeful, disappointed in them for some reason, they don't seem to have printed very well for some reason!
July 15th, 2015  
I love the card - you must be a very special Gran!
July 15th, 2015  
lovely words on your card pat
July 15th, 2015  
Adorable

Oh, that's so sweet!
July 15th, 2015  
Bitter sweet.

Gorgeous photo and what a sweet card. Hugs are amazing. ....that's the bit Skype can't do.....yet!?!?!?!
I'm sure they'll be back in NZ now and lovely times for Lydia to tell you about when she gets home!
July 16th, 2015  
So glad they are back on track with their long journey. Skype will be and running soon. Good that you're busy this weekend it will help fill the emptiness. Good luck with the photos. I struggle with the printing I blame the printer but I expect it's me:-) Might have one or two professionally done just to see how they turn out.

Aw this is so sweet. A great story too. Love the card. You must miss them all. I would keep the card and use it as a book mark. That is what I do with cards I get from the grandchildren if the card is small enough to fit into a book. A great reminder of their visit.

Hope they have arrived home in one piece after their delay. Not sure I would want to be left in Sri Lanka if I was taken ill. Hope the patient survived.

Ahhhh...this warms my heart! How special is that. Another treasure!
