Back in England

Our last days in Mexico went very fast and everything started to change with the Winter frosts. Christmas, New Year, Mummy coming back from hospital, Good bye parties and suddenly we had to start packing.  

 

I had problems to decide what to pack, wanted to take all my beloved books, toys and drawings. Presents, clothes, stickers and pencils, but my suitcase seemed to shrink every time I found something else to go in.   Mum explained that I shouldn't worry because the best things we can take with us are usually those that won't fit in our suitcases but in our memories and hearts. I have my doubts about things being sooo simple, my Teddy wouldn't be happy without his other12 softy friends !! Tea parties wont be the same if we leave them behind!  So I  checked Mickey's suitcase and yes, I found some space in there.

I started the count down to the T-day (T for travelling) But only after many hours juggling with our luggage between planes, buses, train and taxi we finally got home. 



Views around Mexico City


Once in Wareham the reception at school was fantastic, I am very happy to be back, I missed everyone and everything during these long six months !! But yesterday for a moment I started to wonder what my Mexican friends Dahrma, Sophie and Ambar are doing, if my cat is happy with our friend Raul looking after her, if my abuelos  (grand parents) and cousins are missing me, if my room looks empty without the 12 softy toys and Teddy (who managed to travel with me)....  I'm starting to miss them now!! 

I realise that I have two homes and it's true when they say HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS, my heart is divided in two now and I wonder if events in life will take me somewhere else and I'll have to divide my heart even more.....
