sunrise from the plane It was a long haul but we are home, back in North Toggie and it feels good. The whole journey home went incredibly smoothly, no hiccups and in fact we made it in better time than we had anticipated and as we got a little sleep on the plane (10 hours flight ) and the coach back to Leeds was earlier( 7 plus hours...boring...) we figured another couple of hours was nothing and worth it to be in in own bed.... so we headed straight home.... after being on the road for 40 or more hours it was truly great to have own bed - and a loo in reasonable distance and comfort!!! (to say nothing of a bath!!!!!) A week on, sleeping is still a bit hit and miss - we haven't really settled alternating between sleeping 12 hours and 4 hours ha ha ... today feels more normal and over the last few days we have been out and about down the harbour, Alnwick and beach for walks so I'm feeling reconnected with home life again. I've fed my my addiction to Masterchef ...
