Home!

I am home! The journey was really long and really dull, but it is so nice to be back. Robert and Phoebe met me at the airport which was lovely, and I enjoyed eating fruit and chocolate cake in the car on the way home. I have missed fruit a lot. Phoebe is very happy to see me, and was excited to show me her Christmas presents and to open mine (!). She was smaller than I remembered, and more articulate. Also her drawing has improved massively and she can now draw people that actually look like people!

It is odd that it is snowy here. But nice not to need to cover myself in suncream every time I go out. I have noticed things like the birds singing, and am looking forward to going to the supermarket. Spending money is a strange concept too - I didn't have to delve into my wallet at all whilst I was away. Now I have to face a massive pile of washing (not mine, but what has stacked up over the last few weeks) and some washing up from last night. Antarctica seems a very distant memory now, even though I was there only 5 days ago....

This will be my last post on here, so thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed it and learned lots of things. I enjoyed updating it, and want to thank Francois for his assistance when I had a very limited email connection.
