Said loving member arrived after spending two hours driving her first ever white van (picture unavailable, sorry A_P).
We dinned on slightly burnt pizza and heard tales of relatives behaving in all sorts of ways explained only by the vast amount of alcohol consumed by my family on a day to day level.
After talking about plans for Christmas, tennis and my cousins published(!) Dungeons and Dragons story, we made our way, chest in tow, back to the coast.
After spending an hour and a half in the car and 50 minutes crawling along the Dartford Bridge, we decided that a pit stop was needed and found ourselves in shopping hell/heaven Bluewater.
It was here that i realised i had not yet taken a picture of the new chest.
After a brief wonder around JL (the food hall is the stuff dreams are made of) and the distraction of a life i only live in my imagination, my tour manager, my new chest of draws and I returned home.
It sits, slightly awkwardly, in the living room, acting as a jumping/hiding/climbing/hanging off of post for the new baby cat, waiting to be transported upstairs once the new windows have been finished.... but that's a whole other story.
