Leaving on a jet plane
It’s almost 1130pm. I leave tomorrow afternoon back to the UK. The time here has both zoomed by and moved in slow motion. All that has happened and all that I have done has not really sunk in.
Today I had my haircut, bought a lot of new clothes and some chocolate, and stopped to see the sea otters in Moss Landing on my way home. There are always dozens of sea otters hanging out in the harbor there, but these otters seem to like to lounge on the beach like the seals and sea lions and I’ve never seen them do that before.
I’ll miss this little piece of California like I always do. I hope my new life in the north of England is good. I may take myself to Edinburgh at the end of May for a weekend since it’s so much closer to me now.
Thanks for sticking with me and I suspect once I’m back on British soil and settled, you’ll see some knitting content again.

S - just to wish you a very safe, easy journey home - I am sure that everything up North will go well for you. You are headed towards a lovely place to live. Let us Londoners know how you are getting on and let us know when you next plan to visit the Big Smoke so we can meet up for a coffee and a knit / a mooch around IKnit or Stash. Gx
