A la perchoine

Well I finally arrived back in Guernsey. I had to get up early to take the cat to the cattery and naturally she gave me the cold shoulder. Then I had to go home, finish packing and get my backside to Gatwick airport and there I proceeded to sit and wait. All the flights were on time… except mine. Typical!

So I am home safe and safe and sound, back in the ample bosom(s) of my family and it is lovely to see them all. I went to my aunts' house for tea as my parents (as always when I am home for Christmas!) had a social event planned. It was quite an entertaining evening though as my uncle claims to be an expert on everything. So we had the running commentary on Strictly Come Dancing, The X-Factor and he did a Trinny and Susannah on all the clothes. He is quite amusing really!

After this I took a quick trip to the beach tonight and I stood there breathing deeply – it smells very strongly of vraic (seaweed) at the moment and it was such a clear evening and the stars were wonderful. In Guernsey we have the advantage of not having many streetlights which means that the stars are really clear. These are the sights, sounds and smells of home and I miss them desperately at times.

Just missing one important person to make it an even better trip 🙁

    I know, I’d have been there if I could, though 😉

    Yeah, everyone needs a Snudgie on their trip.

    I am giggling at the thought of you posting from within the ample bosoms of your family!

    I can confirm the ampleness of said bosoms.

    I love your family!

    You’ve finished work until after Christmas, and you’re in Guernsey. Where’s that green-eyed smiley when you need it?

    Erm, the anonymous phantom poster was me – now I need a blushing smiley!

    True… but I appear to have been rented out by my mother as chief tree-decorater and present wrapper to the rest of my family!
