We're heading home today full of bittersweet feelings. I'm thinking of what I'll miss from Tenerife and what I have missed from home as I pack (5kg more than we arrived with. Mr Him's silk shirts are heavy! ) Reflecting on this, not the 5kg, it's the things I came into contact with regularly that I will miss, be it a view or routine experience . On the other hand it's physical things I have missed from home.
I'll miss:
The sound of the ocean
The view of volcanos over breakfast from our balcony
The undulating and magnificent ocean path to the next village
Canarian potatoes
Swimming every day
I'm looking forward to seeing:
My family
My menagerie (dogs, cats, hens ). Miss 21 sent me these pics yesterday to'get me in the mood of home'.
My car! ! Darn Mr Him and his walks
Washing machine (we've been hand washing)
The clothes I left behind
Meanwhile on my style blog I've updated my holiday dressing diary here holiday-dressing-diary-part-2.
Anna, a middle age woman in England with a self-deprecating look at life, mostly. I am not one thing, I am many and so is my blog. It's a lucky dip when you read me. I am part cook, part struggling fashion forward thinker, part mother, part professional job holder, part chicken keeper, part shopper. I am not an expert on anything other than me and I'm a 'bitsa'. So is my blog, bitsa' this, bitsa' that. I'd love to have your comments on my bitsa' life. Please follow and share my story.

ReplyDeleteI miss the humdrum of home but mostly family, especially the grandkiddies. I've been back 10 days and I've had them round on 5 of them, incl a sleepover. That's how much I've missed them!
