TOUCHDOWNS

March was a whirlwind of touchdowns - at airports in Toronto, Amsterdam and Johannesburg, with friends, with daughters, with my mother and brothers, and most of all with grandbabies. 

What a pleasure to anticipate the patter of tiny feet up the attic stairwell at 6.30 am in the morning and that quiet whisper: "Nana can I come and lie with you?" and the inevitable "Can we watch Wheels on the Bus?".  This was a daily wake up call and then up to an hour watching the video whilst singing along to old and new nursery rhymes.... that then proceeded to reverberate in my head for hours afterwards.  The rest of the day was spent in the comings and goings of a busy family life that constitutes daily routine with two children aged 3 and 18 months.  Visits to the Toronto Zoo, Chapters and play zones were highlights.

Managed to connect with some friends to catch up again.  Did a few chores along the way. Got rid of two cars.  With relief - settled tenant/rental issues.  Packed up five suitcases for the house in Bermuda - bliss - last time feeling like a packhorse. 

Finally, the last touchdown at Bermuda airport, safely through customs, taxi home and a quiet dinner right on the edge of the wharf.

Still think this is going to be a wonderful adventure.
