Well I finally arrived back in Guernsey. I had to get up early to take the cat to the cattery and naturally she gave me the cold shoulder. Then I had to go home, finish packing and get my backside to Gatwick airport and there I proceeded to sit and wait. All the flights were on time... except mine. Typical!
So I am home safe and safe and sound, back in the ample bosom(s) of my family and it is lovely to see them all. I went to my aunts' house for tea as my parents (as always when I am home for Christmas!) had a social event planned. It was quite an entertaining evening though as my uncle claims to be an expert on everything. So we had the running commentary on Strictly Come Dancing, The X-Factor and he did a Trinny and Susannah on all the clothes. He is quite amusing really!
After this I took a quick trip to the beach tonight and I stood there breathing deeply - it smells very strongly of vraic (seaweed) at the moment and it was such a clear evening and the stars were wonderful. In Guernsey we have the advantage of not having many streetlights which means that the stars are really clear. These are the sights, sounds and smells of home and I miss them desperately at times.
Just missing one important person to make it an even better trip :(
