back home

Safe home...and we're homesick for Aotearoa/New Zealand.
We left Auckland at 24C, landed in Dubai at dawn...24C...landed in Glasgow on a pleasantly warm and sunny Sunday afternoon.
Three buses later we arrived home, and it was beginning to feel a little chilly...and after a cold night we reached the dizzy heights of 4C!! 
Further North and East from us, up in Aberdeenshire, roads are closed due to snow, and it has been hailing and snowing (but not settling) here. 

Spring??!!

I'm back on my old laptop, so blogging is easier...I just need to transfer the photos to here then I can share a few .

Our Monday afternoon was brightened by the arrival of a parcel from Ohio...a pair of beautiful handwoven towels from Joanne of "Cup in the Bus". A priceless gift.  Also an incentive to get back working myself!!

Welcome home to the world travelers! May you enjoy the spring-time weather changes!

Welcome back to the UK! I'm sure the weather is a bit of a shock. We've had a chill descend here in London, too, and we had a bit of hail last night.

It's spring here, and I still sleep under the feathers.

Such is March. Looking forward to the photos.

Welcome back ! Hopefully this will be winter's last gasp (fingers crossed). It was lovely earlier in March...

It is hard to return home sometimes, doubly so if swapping summer for winter (at least for me too)

Sorry it hasn't warmed up for you there yet. At least it is going in the right direction - summer will soon be there.

Glad to hear you made it home safely. I hope it feels like Spring soon. We had some snowfall two days ago and now it is 75 degrees! Spring is a trickster.

Welcome back and adjusting to the unpredictable weather once again.

Welcome home! It is to rise to 75F or higher here Sunday.

Still nice to be home though isn't it even though it's cold there.

Welcome home! I would imagine the temperature shift has been jarring. Stay warm. x

Such wonderful towels. Mine are treasures,but I do use them because she says she wants us to.
