Kind of sad to see all the suitcases lined up in the hallways, waiting to be picked up by the porters. But we had a marvellous trip! After 5 weeks at sea, it felt like it was time to get home. Karl missed his computer and all the goings on with the economy, and I looked forward to getting back to a routine.
Brigitte and Richard were waiting for us at the airport with flowers and the most amazing "Welcome Home" sign! Once home, we realized that they had filled the fridge and pantry with all the necessities to see us through a few days and then some, including a homemade plum cake. Our tenants had really looked after the house and plants well and had some Hallowe'en chocolate waiting on the counter, then showed up with some delicious, steaming hot stew the next day. Neighbours had also been keeping an eye on the house, driving by slowly or dropping in to make sure all was as it should be. We are truly blessed to have such caring friends to come home to!
