Good Morning Horsham!
Low 4°c (39°F) – High 18°c
(64°F)
Total Trip - 19022km (11,820 miles)
Well sadly this was the last few hours of our trip and what an end it was. Heavy rain, high winds, rough roads and to
make life interesting a bit more inflammation in the pesky tooth abscess – it really
did make us grateful to be home in the end.
The rain was so heavy there was simply no photo opportunity with the
exception of having to slow to a crawl for a herd of young cattle that was
wandering down the road and just wouldn’t get out of the way.
We arrived home to an empty but immaculate house and we can’t thank our
housesitters, Carole and Russ, enough for taking care of things while we’ve
been gone. It’s a really weird feeling
to have strangers come and live in your house, but we had a good feeling about
them and we’re so grateful, not only for the opportunity to be able to do this
trip, but also to have been able to go away and not have to worry about
anything at home. The house feels so
huge by comparison to living in a 19ft caravan for 3.5 months and despite me
being a little worried that Kitty might need a bit of adjustment time – she has
settled right in to the usual home routines.
What an amazing trip we’ve had!
Just over 19,000km travelled.
There have been some lows especially in recent weeks but in all the
highs far outweighed the problems and health issues. We’ve seen so many incredible new things and
enjoyed some of the places we’ve been before and we’ll have the memories of
that for many years to come. We’re
already talking about what we might do for our next trip but there are a few
things we need to get sorted before we start saving for that again.
Above all I couldn’t imagine doing all of this with a better co-pilot
than Shane. We love these shared
experiences so much and he has absolutely been my rock throughout everything
that has not gone so well. We’ve missed
our little family and I have a mountain of work ahead of me to get everything
ready for Halloween and the Haunted House Fundraiser. There is definitely a part of me that has
missed creating and I can’t wait to get back into it again. Somewhere in all that I also have a date with
the dentist………. Can’t say I’m looking forward to that but I need to get it
resolved. So another couple of weeks
before the fun ends and I’m back to work.
