We love travelling but after three months away from home it's lovely to come home. WE got home friday after very easy flights and checkins - in spite of all the problems at Heathrow we got through without any problems although Phil's lip balm was confiscated by security - what they thought an 80 year old man could do to endanger a 747 in flight I really can't imagine but I'm sure they had our best interests at heart. Canberra is in the grip of an early spring - having said that it was -5 deg overnight but the last couple of days have had cloudless blus skies at around 16 deg and the blossoms look stunning - heaps of wattle blooming everywhere.
On the way home we had 2 nights is Hong Kong and really enjoyed it. Back in May we had a ghastly 2 days there - it scarcely stopped raining the whole time and the pollution and mist were so thick that we never saw The Peak once.May 2006
Last week couldn't have been more different - the monsoon ended about a week ago and the skies were clear and bright. We went up to the Peak one day and took the circular walk around the top - just delightful.

But now we are home and catching up with family and friends as well as tidying the garden ready to plant spring crops. Should be lots of fun.
