Back home again.
Hello.
Sitting in the garden, listening to the cars flying past on the A26, writing to you.
Back home.
A long drive back to reality today.
But I bring with me a head full of memories,
To be wrapped in tissue and treasured.
And one word captures our week: harmony.
Sure there was laughter and even hilarity!
And then there were deep, meaningful conversations.
Hours of art and creativity,
Lazy snoozes in the sun.
Swimming Pool levity;
The ducks joined in too…
Walks in the countryside,
An amazing Pizza party with our hosts.
From start to finish, harmony.
Didn’t want it to end.
But it did.
And that’s okay too.
Because now I can try to rekindle that serenity at home.
It must be possible. To live in England, but live like the French do.
I have a basket; that’s a start!
Bedtime.
Je suis épuisée! (I am pretty sure that means I am exhausted!)
Much love
Barb

Lots of red wine will help,
Looks like a blissful place to stay and I'm sure you have lots of memories and special moments to cherish. And there's no place like home….! X
Glad you had such a relaxing time! xxx
Hi Barbara pleased to hear you are home safe and sound. I think red wine and cheese would help you re live France don't you. But with a proper cup of tea thrown in too!
