Stephanie, what a disastrous holiday! I hope you are all recovering from it  and that Joseph is feeling better.

  This smiley says it all.  How on earth can people just walk away? Even if they thought it was just kids fooling around, you always go and check. I am disgusted.

And my heart goes out to your oldest lad. A full leg cast  , I can only begin to imagine. How long does he have to keep it on?

As for the rude employees at the museum, I must say that at 49, I am courageous enough now to say something to either them or to their boss. If they don't care to be polite and friendly, they have no reason to be working in that kind of job.

The weather, well, that you have to live with, the other stuff no.

Prayers for your eldest, and also for your other two, that they don't suffer any long term fear of the water.

We're glad you are back Stephanie.


Well put Sue. Glad you are all okay Stephanie and prayers for your eldest.

I am glad you all got home safe from your traumatic holiday Steph, you are home and together, that is the main thing.

As an old Yorkshire saying goes "There's none so queer as folk".

 (meaning the people that passed you by.)

Well said, Stephanie.  Now, to me the best thing you can do after surviving such a bad adventure, is to take your time to recover, be grateful and, least but not last, spoil yourself and your family for a good while ! ;-)

Wolf, we have a slightly different saying for people like that, but this is a family site. I'm speechless; as Sue says, even if you may think that it's being some joke, you go checking! Yell

Just to update everyone - Joe has been to hospital today and they have put a "cricket pad" on his leg which is a splint with straps all down - top to bottom as before but hopefully more comfortable - he had to have more x-rays and he was in awful pain as he has done alot of damage to the tendons. His next appointment is 4 weeks. He managed school yesterday and they have been really supportive!

Thanks for all your good wishes and support!

I am so happy for you Stephanie that school has been supportive. That helps Joseph to feel more at ease I'm sure. I hope his leg heals swiftly.
