You do sometimes wear pink

A lovely time at Marcus, Michelle & Chloe’s as always 🙂

Fantastic food (cooked breakfasts, cooked lunches, cooked dinners, loads of meat; beef stew, curry, haggis and roast lamb), plenty of free flowing beverages (hurrah for fizz!), wildlife walks, Easter egg hunts, Morgan Freeman film fest, laughter at youtube clips, splendid music, but most of all wonderful company and lovely friends.

It was lovely to celebrate Marcus’ birthday with them, particularly as we’d been there for mine and be able to toast Rum and new adventures this time knowing we really are off there (last time was pre interview so hopeful but not certain).

On the way home today we did a detour to visit Alison & Chris with guest appearances from Layla & Si. Fab to meet Rufus and have a few hours with them all. There was Pimms and chili and cups of tea made by teens who have no business being quite so tall and old when in my head they will be forever 6 and 8!

It’s been a week for looking forward; driving around in our new 4wd that will be perfect for our new island life but is not really suitable for taking us and the Humph and all our stuff around the country, saying farewells all over the place and answering questions as they occur to people ‘how will you do your washing?!’ ‘Do unicorn’s need to be overwintered indoors?’ but it’s also been a week for looking back.

Glastonbury has been the scene for so much of the last year – our second WWOOF host – and our third and the one we have returned to not once, not twice, but three more times since we were first there exactly one year ago at the very start of our adventures.

At Marcus & Michelle’s we found ourselves reminscing about the first time we’d met at Kessingland” alt=”” /> and then at Castle Day where we decided we did like each other after all 😉

Today has had me thinking that different people would definitely need to go at the back row of this picture if we took it now!

This coming week will have more of the same – lots of looking forward, lots of looking back. In order to get where you’re going you have to have been where you’ve gone.
