Reflections on being away.

Just some random thoughts.

 

Before I left Orbost, Judy wondered if I would be homesick. I thought “no”… And I still think that is so. 

However, what do I miss? 

Weeeellllll…..

dual flush loos (they are so sensible)

loos that are high (ones here seem so low)

animal-free homes, and fur-free homes (let’s face it, I am not really an animal person) BUT I do miss the hens, and keep wanting to save food scraps for them

routines I follow

my bed 

talking to/visiting friends (and you know who you are)… and the folk I phone a lot…. Living remotely means talking on the phone is important

driving

people phoning me

my region… currently in bushfire danger…. and I feel far away

my mountains and beautiful places…

 

So, is this being homesick? I don’t think so. I am just conscious that these things are not there. I love being where I am. And in a month or so, I will live being home.

i guess that is the best way to be…. I like being away, and I like being home.
