Well, as a girl in red shoes once remarked, there's no place like home, and I think she was right. As much fun as I've had and will continue to have travelling, it's great to be back among family, friends and familiar surroundings
I arrived after around 30 hours in transit on Mum's birthday, so her present was to come and collect me from the airport at 6am We visited my grandfather, and had lunch with a family friend, visited Heth and her new baby Emily, then drove home to the farm. It was so nice to sleep in my own room and my big, comfy bed! I stayed on the farm til Sunday night (sleeping and eating mostly), then got a lift back to Perth with my brother, who'd come down for the weekend.
Then a fairly busy 6 days in Perth - catching up with Kristin, Nic, Em, Vicki, Helen and Rod, plus going to Kristin and Ryan's wedding on Friday - a great day - the bride and groom looked lovely and happy, everything went smoothly, the weather was great, and I caught up with lots of old friends
On saturday I came back down south with Mum, and after a few more quite peaceful days (and a few more roast dinners I am going back to Perth tomorrow, and flying out at 11pm!
It's been a great 2 weeks, and while I'm always sad to be leaving, I'm keen to see lots more of europe, and experience more of Ireland as well.
