WE. ARE. HOME!🙌🏽 🏴
I didn’t want to share some of these whilst we were away, making family and friends worry and couldn’t do anything about it
But that was one of the scariest experiences of our lives
In order
1- The first missile/ drone interception- didn’t know what it was at the time
2- A few hours later there was another
3- Late afternoon, some loud bangs that we heard over the next few days (Charlie started recording on my phone, I’d put my phone in the bag, got it out to record and realised it was already recording) 🔊
4- First of a few alerts we got to say that there’s missiles around and shelter
5- Trip to the hotel basement for shelter, 1:00-3:30am
6- Charlie keeping occupied with the Gruffalo
7- Everything outdoors got closed
8- WE WERE ALLOWED BACK OUT!
9- Making the most of being allowed out- 5k PB (Thursday 6:55pm)
10- Having tea (Thursday- 7:45pm)
11- Another warning to seek shelter (Thursday- 8:00pm)
12- Back underground, strutting about (Thursday- 8:05pm)
13- Bye Bye Dubai 👋🏽
14- Get us out of here! ✈️
That week really brings to light what people must go through day to day during conflict, we knew we were coming home at some point, it’s crazy how that is peoples lives (and much worse than what we experienced) 🙏🏽
So happy to be home safe 🙌🏽🏴
