17. Uganda - The Homecoming

Both flights went smoothly and I managed to get a good bit of sleep between Entebbe and Amsterdam. When we arrived in Glasgow George and I said our goodbyes to the pupils at the baggage collection area and thanked them for doing so well in Uganda. Then we all went through to the arrivals where all of the parents were waiting with a huge banner to welcome us! 

Seeing the pupils reunited with their parents made me feel very emotional - the parents have worked so hard to raise money for the trip and to support the group.

James and Alasdair were waiting for me; it was lovely to see them and when we got home James made me a bowl of porridge with blueberries and a cup of coffee, it was bliss. Then I had a sleep for a couple of hours followed by a bath - yes, with hot running water and Molton Brown bubble bath! James made a special Welcome Home dinner of roast lamb with juniper berries and gratin dauphinois, and Grandma came round for tea. It's nice to be home!
