Epilogue to an Adventure


There was once a woman who made a mistake.

Luckily, she realised before it was too late
so she left a message for her friends
and went home.

When she arrived she looked around
and knew that she had done the right thing.

There was work to be done
and changes that must be made
but they could wait for another day.

She flung open the windows
to let in the sunshine
and blow away the cobwebs.

It is so nice to have you home.

Lovely to have a holiday - that is where we get to try out being someone different. Sometimes we even get to bring back bits of that new person home with us.

Here it is termed 'adding new bricks to my life's building.'

It is good practise for me to work with my blog layout!

It's good that you're back but it never felt as if you left.

Alice, hello....in the short time I visited you at Limejuice i always got there via Magpie files anyhow because I am lazy and had not changed the link. So from a purely personal, lazy-arse level, thankyou for coming back so I don't have to click twice to find you.

It seems that sometimes, being slack about updating one's links and blogroll can be a very good thing.

Thank you for saving me a job. Welcome home.

JuliaB said...

Miss M rocks, as usual. I want to be her when I grow up. (Can I just say that this post and the previous one actually made me teary? Are ANYONE's hormones as screwy as mine?!?!?!?!)

One little problem: my blog was listed on your Lime Juice blogroll...just for what it's worth, and all...)

Hooray!!

Thank you to MissM for her input. Such a sensible daughter.

I think that the only time MrsM is going cold turkey is at Christmas now.

Suse said...

Yes I too was wondering what the difference was. Apart from the fact that I appear on one blogroll but not the other, that is. Hope I haven't offended somehow.

It's just geography...I imagine magpies fly over many different lands in their lifetime, sometimes landing, sometimes not.

I've popped over for that cup of tea and it looks like I have quite a bit to catch up with.

About your comment in my blog( thank you for your visit and comment):
When are you thinking to come to Portugal? Don't forget Sintra. It's easy to come because is quite near Lisbon and you won't regret it.

I'd visit you anywhere, Alice...

Glad you have settled. But I am quite happy to keep on following you about the place :o)
