So, I got blind-sided by homesickness a little earlier this week. I should know by now. I'm the one who only ever wants to go on holiday for a week, ten days at the most because I miss home. But my home is here for now. I was stropping round the cottage growling to myself when I looked up and saw a heart, amongst other hearts, that Jill had given me. And then, on the windowsill, I saw gorgeous, golden daffodils in a jug that Sally gave me when I moved into Lowen. And as I stopped stropping and growling but started to wander and ponder I realised I have filled my new home with signs of all of you:
Thank you fabulous family and friends. Am I allowed to say I feel blessed?
I'm loving your blog, Emma!
ReplyDeleteI've always had that same feeling of Cornwall being somewhere 'other'. I remember staying in a little fisherman's cottage in Vellan Dreath up above Sennen and the tractor driver who hauled our luggage uphill saying "Round hereabouts we say it's a little piece of heaven". When we decided to leave Surrey Cornwall was definitely on the possibility list and if I hadn't had other commitments it would have been top; so a vicarious taste of life there is such a treat. I'm so looking forward to visiting!
Meanwhile, sorry you're having a touch of homesickness. Remember the saying "The road to a friend's house is never long" and it's not long now till the summer flights start up.
Love to all from all and enjoy your week with Cam and Lucy.
