“i think it's important to learn to build a little home base within your own soul, so that wherever you go you're not consumed by the lack or loss or distance of home. if home always has to be a place then you can only have one, and you have to always feel it as being a certain geographical distance from you as you make your way around. if a home is a place your heart recognises, though - as sappy as it sounds - you can have many, and carry them with you. places you can walk away from, but love can travel with you, tucked away behind your ribcage. i have so many homes now, and instead of mourning for their distance i like to think of them like this - travelling with me, nestled against my bones and listening to my heartbeat ( ... )

Did summer happen on your day off?

Now that’s a real dog, not like the pathetic excuse for one that’s featured in my scrapbook.

& a few more songs:
Brandy, nope don't know who it's by &
(if you have very little concern for the people around you & your reputation -this one is best wailed at the top of your lungs in places in which you will never be seen again) Wand'ring Minstrel by Gilbert & Sullivan.

Yeah, Dad gets in from H.K. about an hour before me so he's just gonna hang around & wait. He's hiring a car so we'll be pretty mobile. I couldn't fly directly to Toronto anyway so I though I might as well make it a propper stop. I'll be based in either Bath or Lemington Spa if you want to drop by. *smiles in what she hopes is a winning manner* I'd love to meet up somewhere. I just had a little daydream about Foyles. Hey, that could work. Where will you be based in the U.K.?

Those pics of Paris made me feel homesick. And I'm not even French! I miss Swiss so much that any pic of Europe makes me feel that way.

Did you climb to the top of the Sacré Coeur? Quite a lot of stairs.

My god that was a long post! I kept thinking of comments as I read it but by the time I got to the next bit and the next bit and the next bit I'd forgotten what I thought about the bit before!
Lovely to see all your photos Blossy.
What was that song about building a little birdhouse in your soul? Is that what you mean? Do you keep a budgie there?
