Yes, we have arrived. After our LONG flight. Qatar airlines is wonderful in business class, but it still was long. We had our first ever 787 flight. The plane is very modern and super clean as it is brand new. But I thought the seats were narrow, and I am not a large person. George agreed, but that said, I got some good sleep.

Birkenhead house is amazingly beautiful, and lunch was just scrumptious. I passed on the gamey and fishy fish. Had prawns and an artichoke salad instead. Then George and I took a long walk on the walkway that goes along the beach. Of course, George had to go off road, so my feet got wet.

Got to meet Alice and Kim. Jerry and Helen, Barbara and Alex arrive this evening.
