They're off!

I took Hudson the Visla out for a walk with my usual walking companions, and after a bit of suitcase reorganisation in their car when we returned, mum, dad, R &K were on their way back home.
The house is now very quiet, we've had family here since Dec 17th, so the washing and ironing has now become a mountain. I got stuck in with three hours of solid ironing while Mr F went back to bed!
Meanwhile the rain and wind continue.
