Catching up

Amidst the rush to get organised for my trip to India we took a little time out last night with my cousin Trevor and his wife Helen who are visiting from Sydney.

We had a bite to eat and some great conversation. It was wonderful to be able to slow things down and just enjoy good company. We haven’t been able to spend nearly enough time with them during this visit.

I love having friends and relatives in various parts of the world but it’s always a bit hard when we have to part, not knowing when we’ll be able to catch up again. I know that’s how I felt when I left friends behind in India a couple of years ago after my first visit there and I’ll feel the same again in a few weeks after renewing some of those friendships.

I find it even harder when it’s family. Trevor and Helen head back across the Nullarbor with their caravan soon to be with their immediate family. I guess that until we meet again it’s back to email.

  • I go offline for a few weeks and you go and change your whole blog!!! Hmmm…;)

    When do you go on your trip to India? Can’t wait to hear all about it!!

  • It’s good you took time out for your family. Pretty soon resting is going to be a real luxury. I also look forward to hearing about India. How exciting it would be to visit such a wonderful country.
    Blessings.
