Not the best start to the trip - 6 hrs at JFK waiting for a plane to be repaired...

But once underway, we managed pretty well. Children were amazing.

Toby did manage to keep a few business class passengers awake. We'd had a chat about that before we left and he upheld his part of the bargain...delighted !

Anyway, 1st stop, Bewdley to see Grandad Martin and Grandma Andrea. Lovely to see them both. Isabelle was very excited and had a great time in new surroundings. Toby took a little longer to settle in...a bit overwhelmed I think....

We were able to pop down to Teddy Gray's and show Izzy the best sweet shop the world.
