Home, Sweet Home


It's my observation that a lot of us enjoy our holidays but we get to a point where we yearn for home, yearn for our own brand of normal and we long to be back with our loved ones.


I've been "on the road" for a month.
I have a yearning to be home ... to see the family I love so dearly, and my Bertie, my friends, my humble home.

I have a yearning to see this view again.
And I'm not just talking about the hot chocolate!


I've missed you, Sarnia Cherie, 💓, my little piece of normal.

A la perchoine.

    Mary I know exactly what you mean and I always feel the same. And that's even if I'm away for five or more days! xx

      Hi Laurie, nice to hear that you feel the same way. Sometimes I wonder why I go away at all?!!
      Hugs for the weekend, x.

    I am a homebody for sure! I could never travel for work and admire those that do and do it so well. I love the idea of vacation and once I go I'm fine but I always have second thoughts about leaving my little nest.
    There's nothing like your normal!
    xo,

      Hi Mts R, guess you're right, it feels OK once we're away. I find the organising of EVERYTHING beforehand so tiring. We LOVE normal!
      Wishing you a cosy weekend, hugs, x.

    I agree completely. Holidays are lovely, but there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed and getting back into your own normal, as you put it so well.

      Oh Jacqui, what are we like? I guess Thomas Cook won't be sponsoring us any time soon!
      Happy weekend, hugs, x.

    A month is a long time to be away from home.

      Hi Amy,

    Felt exactly the same Mary as I arrived back in the UK on Fri after just a few days in the US! There's no place like home.

      Hello sweetie-pie. I'm home now and dealing with my jet lag (a half hour flight!). We changed the clocks back today (think you're next week?). It's so dark out there!!!
      Hugs, x.
