Mixed Feelings

Sunday

Despite having to head home, today was a lovely day. We had a lazy morning then my mum and step father took us to Mundesley for lunch. I had a roast dinner with my absolute favourite carrot and swede (as well as cabbage, peas and runner beans - I love runner beans too). Robbie is a man of many passions, but that does not extend to vegetables - he decided that good food could wait and he had an all day breakfast! After lunch we said a fond farewell to the sea and reluctantly set off for home.

I felt a strange mixture of feelings, I was very reluctant to leave Walcott and the bungalow and I really didn't want the holiday to end, but I had missed the children very much and I really wanted to see them again. We had a leisurely drive home, no radio, just chatting, it was really nice. When we got back there was the inevitable cleaning tidying and food shopping but we didn't let it get to us. The challenge now is to adapt to reality again while preserving something of the closeness we enjoyed on holiday.
