Homeward bound

It's our last day in Europe - we leave for Hong Kong tonight. We have been in East Sussex for the past week with Christy and Andy and had a great time. During the week Christy heard that she has passed her A & E specialist exams (only 35 of 115 candidates passed) and we were very happy for her - she has worked long and hard to get through them.

We had a couple of exhilarating and wet afternoons on the water sailing their catarmaran - it is lovely to be able to sail outside your front windows!! Also managed 4 long walks this week - mostly along the coast but 1 over the South Downs near Glyndebourne.

Now it's time to say goodbye and head home - always an emotionally mixed up time - nice to return to family and friends in Australia and to home and garden but very hard to leave the girls on this side of the globe. But then there is always next year!!
