We got to Birmingham on time despite the motorway being closed due to an accident. There was a long queue to get a parking space so Em and I headed off to get the keys while George queued. We had unpacked over half her belongings before we got a space to park.
I really didn't want to leave and tried to help with unpacking (but Emily wanted to sort it herself). George finally persuaded me to leave and the girls both got a hug. I didn't need to ring in the evening to check how she was - as she rang us.
