Home safe and sound!

Connor's been on exercise in the Yorkshire countryside this week so I'm pleased that the weather has been better this week than of late.  He'd promised to ring me on Saturday when he'd arrived back and warmed up a bit, so I sat there all day like a lonely old fool, waiting for his call, grabbing my phone every time it sounded, but he didn't ring.  He still hadn't telephoned by 9.30pm so I texted him.  I knew he was back though because a soldier from another platoon had let it slip on the AFC's Facebook site that they'd been back since early in the afternoon and had been spotted in their lines polishing their rifles!  Anyway, it was only a brief text conversation but enough for me to know that he's ok and that he's been busy since returning, sorting out his kit and so on.  Hopefully, if I'm lucky, he might get a few minutes to chat tonight.
