Hi Helene, it must be very hard for you and hubby. On a positive note things are going upward and forwards for you with your writing and soon you might have a changed life and the novels be the bread winner.

Hi Kylie, I don’t get a chance to kick off my shoes before our demented staffie, Zeus, has welcomed me home. Thankfully, being a dog, no matter how long I’m away he’s still happy to see me Gotta love that short memory span…

Then if my husband’s home he makes me a coffee and we sit down outside overlooking the pool and catch up. We live on a relatively quiet street so the absence of city noise is like a soothing bath. Ahhhh….

Hey, Helene, I so understand what you mean by being a homebody. While I don’t travel in my line of work (yet! ) when I do go on holiday I usually do it over weeks rather than days.

Living out of a suitcase is no fun thing and you do get to wanting the familiar comforts of home even though you’re enjoying the adventure of seeing new places.

So, what’s the first thing you do once you kick off your shoes and throw your suitcase in the bedroom? I like to play with my cats – if they’re not all miffed and ignoring me because I’ve been away so long . This is then followed by a wander around my garden, usually with all 3 cats in tow, just enjoying the familiar quiet and peace of being at home.

Hey Helene,
That coffee looks almost too good to drink. Maybe you should hang the photo in Glaskins?
