We arrived late on December 23rd at my sisters house, 9 miles for Gatwich airport. Both airports were packed but there were no delays. On Saturday December 24th both my sister's family and the Menkens travelled four hours north to be with our Mum and other sister for Christmas. The roads were clear and the weather was mild and we made good time.
