Home sweet home!
Spent Sunday with Jenny, Rosie and Adrien 'doing brunch' at Cafe Chino, then visiting the Science Museum - there is so much to see you couldn't absorb it all in a week, let alone an afternoon. It was great to be able to spend some time with my lovely daughters!
Got myself organised in good time on Monday morning, only to find that there had been a 'customer incident' (this sadly usually is a euphemism for a suicide) at Hounslow tube station, so no trains beyond Acton Town - which meant that I ended up taking a cab to Heathrow. My cabbie told me he actually lives in Thailand, working in London for 6 weeks then going back there for 2-3 months at a time!
Flights to Athens and on to Chania uneventful, just a little turbulence leaving London. Rosie and John met me at Chania and drove me home, where my wonderful housesitters, Blue and Willow, had made supper for us all.
They left very early this morning, and Mitzi is now wandering around wondering where they are! Also, I have apparently acquired another cat in my absence - Pippa, as she has been called, looks as though she has been a housepet - the feral cats here don't just walk into your house and curl up on the couch! And she looks like she's pregnant ... anyone want a kitten? So off to the vet we will have to go later this week ... Life is what happens when you're making other plans, it seems.
But it is good to be back; it's sunny and warm, the sea is sparkling, there's a tiny bit of snow on the mountains (there will be more later in the winter); now to start unpacking ...
