Home

We're Home. We arrived back to a rather chilly house around 1am yesterday. It was a long journey stretching to almost 24hours, door to door. We were tired, but excited to be Home. Inspections of all the rooms could not wait until the morning, despite our weariness and the nausea-like symptoms that were just starting to kick in due to lack of sleep. Even when I finally forced myself to crawl into bed it was gone 2am and I could not sleep. Eventually I did...only to wake about 4 hours later. So yesterday was a long, strange day. Chores to be done, including unpacking of course. The contents spilling out of 6 suitcases in various rooms of the house...when you're this tired, it seems reasonable to just grab at the things you actually need, as you need them. Not to mention the fact that over the course of the last few weeks, since we had to starting packing up the apartment on January 4th, we have in fact been living out of suitcases. Anything can become habit if you do it for long enough!

I'm conscious that my blogs are all a bit out of sync. I still have to gather my thoughts and share our experiences of Cambodia and Laos, along with some photos of course. However, with computers still in transit that job will have to wait a bit longer, but it will get done. Eventually. In the meantime, I can tell you that we had a fabulous holiday in both locations. We were way to busy to stop to blog along the way! So much to see and to experience. So much to take in. So much relaxation needed....and enjoyed.

We returned home to snow of course...this is Ottawa, in January. But it does appear to have been a mild and low-snowfall Winter so far. January a few years ago looked very different to this with our front garden piled high with snow....today, there are no big piles, just a generous layer, providing a pretty white blanket over everything. So far.

People are already asking me what will become of my Blog now that I'm back...will I continue? What will I write about? Right now...I don't have an answer to that, but blogging feels somewhat in my bones now and I'm not sure I can stop...so I'll just have to see where it goes from here. Watch this space....
