Safely home

Well, Wilson is now safely home again. Once I got out of the village the roads weren't too bad and I reached the zoo without mishap.

There was a very touching farewell scene when Wilson departed, with his mum hugging him and all his siblings and step-siblings standing in a row waving. 

Andrea was holding baby Laura, who waved and called, 'Bye bye uncle Boo!'

Several of W's new stepfathers were skulking in the background too, but he ignored them.

W waved and waved as we drove away, and there were a few tears on the journey home, but now he's settled in and working once more on Laura's scarf. 

He's talking about going sledging tomorrow, but today he just wants to stay in the warm, snacking and snoozing.
