And it was great...

Few moments of sadness...

Missing a man I love, I miss my son, I miss the coean, but to see those mountains was breathtaking...

Oh and how I miss him, that daft, zany, mad man...

I do find a sense of peace here, that makes me miss my home, because it is my home...

One that I have made my home, a place where I can rest my soul, even though there is a piece of me missing...

I think it may be called 'homeitus' and by the lord, while I miss him, I welcome my home....

Salzburg? Am home... I have not seen you for six weeks, I have not embraced you and all you are about...

And if I hated my home, it would make it harder and grittier to deal with.... This rampant love of mine.

Now, I can smile, being loved. happy and walk into my home.

It is the best feeling.

Apologies for being so smug...

Anyone else feel that home is where they feel the heart, stomach, mind, body and soul is????

Hey you. Yes I miss my home in Spain dreadfully and I've only been gone just over a week.

I'm having a fabulous time here in Oxford though, as teacher and mummy to my lovely students. This is my weekend now, Wednesday and Thursday, the kids/young adults have no English classes and are off on excursions to London and Stratford. As the senior housemistress I have this time off, no excursions for me, to unwind until Friday when classes begin again.

Five more weeks and I will be in my beloved, adopted country, but in the meantime I'm determined to have a good time with the wonderful teachers working with me and the students.

I hide it well, but I have a wee bias towards the Spanish students though!

A lie in for me tomorrow.

I am pleased it is not just me...

Hello you!

I have been away for nearly six, and I leave again the day after tomorrow...

For four days in Scotland, at the British Open...

30 planes I have been on this year, this is bad...

And I got to see my car again.

Are you living on campus????

I am indeed, and the food is just horrendous stodge, which I'm trying to avoid as much as possible

Mind you, there are some nice new teachers, both male and female this year, and a group of Canadian hunks (unrelated to our summer school, but living on campus) who are very pleasing on the eye! grin

Tomorrow me and two other female house-mistresses are going to pamper ourselves with bubble baths, pedicures and manicures while the students are away. We have the place to ourselves, bliss!

Hi there. Yes, I know what you mean ..

When I started to be on my own after more than 20 years of marriage, I was scared and felt terribly alone. But after a while, I got so used to the place that it became my home -- where I am most comfortable in, where I can be totally myself to do as I please, and all the familiar things are there at my disposal.

I also enjoy being away for a while, but there's nothing like a place you can go home to, where you feel most at peace with yourself and the world .. and where you can rest your soul.

Welcome home, Sommer.

Yup - I also love my home...... from tomorrow I am being allowed out for up to four hours per day and I'll head for the villa and feel good to be home again; once my mum went to the nursing home I was overwhelmed by a sense of quiet peace and I like that so much!

Unless I do something silly I'll be discharged from hospital on Monday - after only a week's stay instead of the two weeks I thought I'd be here.

Then I have friends coming out to visit and then I'll be really really happy to hear the quiet silence broken by the sound of laughter for a few days.

you don't have to be in a place long to want to be there for the rest of your life Sommer. I was in a place called Ella in Sri Lanka it was simply heaven. And the 5th hole at Berquit is pretty close too.

A place where you feel attached to can be anywhere. It is where you feel peace and where your frame of mind seems to be correct.

Yeah, and a very good golfer, too. He was just in the Flanders Nippon Golf yesterday ... a real winner! wave

Have a good trip, Sommer.

Best of luck for the British Open.
