it feels like home!

The repatriation flight from Cape Town to London was one of those experiences which are best forgotten. Our Heathrow accommodation was equally forgettable while the 400 mile drive home was as good as could be expected.

Thankfully our builders had left the place in pretty good condition although they had not quite finished the job.

After a few days of getting everything sorted, we celebrated the relaxation of the lockdown rules by strolling along the Union Canal to Craiglockhart to have an appropriately social distanced drink with Ali and Neil in their garden. 

As we were a bit later than intended, we stopped for a fish supper at Fountain Park where I bumped into Gavin Hastings in the chippy queue.

Now I know I'm home - lets hope the summer lasts beyond this weekend.

PS the fish supper was excellent, washed down with a glass of Hollyrood Pale Ale
