A Manic and Tiring Weekend Back Home

One of the most difficult things about living abroad is the little tiem you have when you come home for a short visit. Even living in Europe (only a short 1+ hours away) entails short 2-3 day trips maybe only once a twice a year (trips to the Emirates excepted, of course). Claire and I went back last weekend for 3 days and stayed in three different beds, visited 6 different groups of friends and family. By the time we were back home at 11pm on Tuesday night we were shattered. In fact, it was Claire's first visit back since July and made us realise how quick time flies by. So thanks to Wendy/Alistair & The Hoppings for excellent B&Bs - we're back in February for Gillian's 50th!
