I don't think I want to go out driving again for a while. The trip down to Sydney took 13 hours of driving and the trip home another 13 hours, although I stopped for the night at a motel on the return journey. The trip home seemed longer than the trip down. Big trucks, road works, accidents, dangerous drivers, I had them all. I think I might have to replace my windscreen as it has so many chips in it. But having said that I love the feeling of gliding along the road with the countryside flashing by.
I had a great time with my family and my niece loved the owl sweater I made for her little girl. I also saw that a skirt I had made for my nephews daughter had been passed down through all the girls and the two year old was swirling away. Now for some sleep.
This serious soul (Sinead) can smile and she is the most gorgeous child.
Thirteen hours each way? I'm not at all surprised that you fancy staying put for a while!

From where I live, if you leave early, Scotland's only about four hours away - no great strain with friends to see at the other end!
London's about four hours in the other direction..

You are perfectly placed. I used to live in London and my favourite holiday destination was Mallig, up near Skye.
