   Stranded Abroad: The Truth About Getting Stuck Away From Home

   The moment you get to the airport with a child, your bags trimmed down, your accommodation checked out, and your heart already halfway home, a cancelled flight hits different. We are stranded in Indonesia after our Emirates route through Dubai shuts down, and the hardest part is not the heat or the logistics. It is the whiplash of being mentally ready to return to the UK, then being told it is not happening for an unknown amount of time, all while staying steady for a four-year-old who is wat...
