Home sweet home..................

......travel went smoothly yesterday from Prague to London, 

then on across the pond back to Raleigh.

The strange part was actually being home in England but only for an hour between flights. We kicked ourselves for not staying over for at least a day........especially as the tight connection didn't allow for any quick airport shopping. It was just a mad dash through the terminal, one gate to another, sighing as the names such as Harrods, Zara, Boots, W.H.Smith, flashed by in a blur.......and the credit cards stayed in our bags!

  

I'm up early - ten hours of sleep felt good but jet lag will hang on for a couple of days. I'm still tired and stiff from aircraft seats. I've a mountain of things to accomplish this coming week after unpacking, laundry, opening a huge stack of mail. The garden is a wreck, medical appointments must be kept, and packing up a lot of household stuff - such as everything in this photo - is planned. No, not moving, but have an exciting project scheduled for the cottage soon - more on this later. 

Thanks for following me along on the trip. I'll be stopping by to visit you soon.....although I read your posts while traveling I couldn't always comment. Seeing those beautiful cities was a fabulous way to celebrate my upcoming big birthday - yes it's still to actually arrive, so perhaps I'll celebrate again on the actual day. 

An oops! edit: Just started the pile of laundry and the washing machine decided to welcome us by overflowing. Fortunately we were close by and mopped up the mini flood with towels........a service guy is needed fast. I have a great travel partner but he's no handyman about the house!
