September - back to school

The building work ended with a house warming party. It was such an incredible feeling to be able to fire up the cooker and fill it with food and stack the burbling fridge with juice and beer and wine and cake and see the space full of friends, family and neighbours, the children drawing pictures in the kitchen and making a den under the stairs, all chatting and laughing until well past our bedtimes. 

I felt ready to go out into the world again.
