Off to Ringmer-Home of the Millers


Up early and on the move after collecting my winnings from the Grand National jumps race on Saturday. My horse came second in the closest finish ever. The race had 40 starters-less than half finished and two horses had to be put down.

We said goodbye and travelled back to London Gatwick via Lewes and Ringmer which are the villages that my grandmother and grandfather came from. Found the house in Ringmer (again) and took another photo.

 Arrived at Gatwick to find some flights cancelled including ours. Earlier in the day a Virgin flight had filled with smoke after takeoff and had made an emergency landing with slides deployed etc.  The runway was then closed for hours whilst safety people inspected it. We were bussed to Heathrow then caught a 7pm (instead of 5pm) flight to Glasgow.  In hotel by 9.15, quick meal and bed.
