After 19 months away, I finally returned home… although only for three days! The flying visit was action-packed with relaxing activities (a paradox?! You figure it out…). I enjoyed my favourite home-cooked food (lemon meringue pie, mmmmmmm…), got taken out for lunch, shopping, and to the movies (Mamma Mia, complete with my mum and aunt laughing uproariously and even singing along at times), and of course got cornered last minute into doing a “short and easy” interview in church. After a taste of “normal” life again, I was reluctant to leave – although I’m aware that in “the real world” people don’t treat you quite so much as they did me this weekend! For all you flown birds out there, I would recommend returning to the nest once in a while.
It was so wonderful to see you too Ali – a lovely surprise when you plonked yourself down yesterday morning. I am glad you had a good weekend and hope it will help sustain you for the period ahead.
It’s great to know about this now too – I can follow your progress better and promise to be in touch more…!
God bless
