Its been 4 months since we last went to Scotland and MP Fitness and now its finally time to return. Alek and I started our journey at 4 oclock this morning, got to the budget airline for a 6.25 flight to Stansted that was unfortunately 40 minutes delayed. It was the first time Alek has walked through the security shield on his own, yay!! At Stansted we picked up a car and started our long road trip to Perth via Grandads. We arrived in Perth at 5.30, trying to find the little flat we have rented. Not an easy task in the darkness, trying to scramble around finding a key under a blue wheelie bin...in the dark all bins are black (hmmm). Torch on the iPhone sorted that but this was followed by the fact that the front door key was slightly knackered shall we say and I spent a further 15 minutes trying to open the door with poor Alek getting more and more tired. I was so tired and fed up I just wanted to sit down and cry. Well low and behold the door suddenly flung open and we then started the ascent of the 6 flight of stairs. Next project was to try to get all our luggage from the dark car park in to the building and up those stairs whilst not locking myself out and Alek inside. Alek was quite naturally terrified of the thought of me leaving him alone in the flat. Some instructions and a door wedge later I managed to bring it all in one go- us special needs mums are like octopuses anyway, we always need more than two arms to catch our children from falling and to care for them ❤️ So we are now finally nested and ready for what tomorrow might bring! Oh, did I tell you we didnt bring any sticks this time?!!! Makes the journey even more interesting as Alek needs somebody very close at all times but its a choice he made about a month ago. He was relying heavily on those sticks and it was affecting his gait so it was a good decision for now. Good night all x
