He's gone...

The journey was dreadful. The rain was so bad at times we could hardly see the car in front and we went through quite a few floods. We stayed overnight at a hotel and I have to say that yesterday morning we woke to glorious sunshine - even the Major thanked us for bringing the good weather with us! Yes, it was emotional when we left him. I did feel sorry for one young girl who was obviously leaving her brother behind. She sobbed so hard she set some of us off as well. Only time will tell now whether he stays there or not. He has medicals and fitness tests to pass over the next few days. All I can say is thank goodness for texts - he made contact last night and he says the food is wonderful. Typical man, thinking of his stomach!
