I've been wondering how to close off this blog now that I have returned to the UK. On 18th May my 'gozomie' box was delivered containing all my 'stuff' (all the heavy things and the majority of my personal effects). It was reassuring to have the box but, at the same time, I was a little nervous about opening it ... I was sure I would get all emotional but I reckoned the best thing to do was to dive in there and get unpacked. Besides, I wanted to look at the gifts I had been presented with on my departure. I hadn't realised I had amassed quite so many souvenirs from my time there! Badges, leaflets, maps, t-shirts, a felted scarf (that looks like seaweed), a sheepskin rug, a mine sign mug and mousemat. And then there was the coaster given to my by the lady in the Pod gift shop when I left. Fond memories of my South Atlantic adventure. I have a new project which will be to make up a photo book only using the best of the pics... that'll keep me busy for a while... I've got hundreds to choose from!
So what next? I was discussing this with a friend recently and heard myself saying the closing words for this blog. "I was met at the Airport by a driver and brought back here. The start of my next journey"...
