Home Sweet Home

I left home in the depths of Winter, not under my own steam, I might add...

Now,  under the seasonal promise of new beginnings and rebirth, I have returned home just in time for Spring flowers and blue skies.

Thank you for all of your words of encouragement and kind wishes.. I have lots more work to do , before I'm walking on both legs once again.
I'm prepared for the road ahead, my spirit is renewed and my heart is happy.

A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rest. "

Wanderlust

 

Great Budworth village, Cheshire 

 

An entire month has floated by without a word written, I apologize for the silence.

My travels took me across an ocean blue, to my beloved homeland England.

Life happens, it was an unplanned visit, the kind that a child dreads facing one day... saying goodbye to a much-loved parent.

It was a time to reflect, and connect with long lost relatives, and despite many tears, there was much laughter and merriment shared.

I was a 'local' once again, and felt as if I'd slipped back into an old pair of well-worn, comfortable shoes.

England in all of her glory, filled my heart and soul.....

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,--
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

 

William Shakespeare.  "King Richard II", Act 2 scene 1

 

Gone...

Our dear family members are flying across the Atlantic ocean as I type.
Returning home to England, after spending a week filled with laughter, a wedding, and much tea-drinking.
The house is now eerily quiet, yet oddly enough I still hear their voices echoing amongst it's walls.
" More tea anyone ?"
*Sigh*
