Tomorrow, very early in the morning while it is still all dark and very, very cold, I will peel myself from my warm and cosy bed.
I will fight against sleep and stand, in a dazed confusion, under the shower head.
I will have butterflies in my tummy and will moisturise in a hurried, shaky manner.
I will put on the clothes that I have laid out.
I will take the dogs out and try to eat some breakfast. I will fail but I will drink two cups of tea.
I will brush my teeth and put on a tiny amount of make up, mascara and lip tint.
At five thirty am exactly I will leave the house, locking the door behind me.
I will drive across the country to the airport.
I will park the car and go to arrivals.
He will arrive and smile at me.
We will kiss.
Awww…
… I am so happy for you!
I will be dazed and unsure of the time. I will be tired and burdened with luggage. I will kiss you. I will weep for joy.
Thank you, Sara.
Dev, how am I supposed to sleep tonight? Just as I typed this a girl got spanked on TV- on Strictly Come Dancing- did they know you are coming?
I was afraid of that. Someone alerted the media.
Consider it fair warning for all of Great Britian.
The Himself and his hand will soon be in Blighty.
Albion ready your beer taps, hide the switches and slippers. Make ready for the American. He is near.
Hugs and Kisses Poppy & Devlin
Thank you Pippa.
The snow has descended here with a thwack and I don't know who to say I am scared of the drive to because … well, he is in the air.
Wish me luck and if you see a red head driving in the snow being a bit shaky (but driving steady and slow, gentle on the breaks, low gears, and lots of stopping distance) then that could be me, provided I can get up the hill on the edge of my village.
Gosh, I love snow, but couldn't it have waited 24 hours?
That sound a real menace! The image just made me think of that Hugh Grant film, The Englishman who went up a hill but came down a mountain.
Except you are not a Hush Grant, just a lovely bunny in a snowy mess.
Murphy's law Poppet.
But all you have to do is get there. Once he is with you, it will be a cinch to get back.
At least you red hair is a Beacon!!
oh my – i know that you will have the BEST time together. i will be thinking about you and just smiling and smiling.
*big hugs for both of you*
Pippa, I will think of myself as a snow bunny, I have never thought of myself like that before and the thought of it is most invigorating.
You are right, once I am there and have been kissed then anything will be posible.
Thank you, Naxie. The moment I see him I will be smiling too.
Home.
Safe.
Happy.
Tired.
Me too.
