Hello from my strange parallel universe...
Hi Everyone Hope you have been enjoying the peace and quiet in my absence! It's been a crazy ten days... Two hemispheres, three countries and three vastly different time zones. Delayed flights, failed flights, emergency landings, rescheduled flights, an apartment that turned out to be like a bondage den!!! It also had dodgy electrics that only half worked and kept banging and flashing! But I walked in deep snow, saw beautiful city night skies, Vancouver Fog, the stunning winter scenery of Squamish and Whistler, ate loads of delicious vegan food and walked the very worst poverty stricken and drug ridden streets of the city at night, by accident, which was kind of scary but made me feel how blessed I am. Now I am in Kent, in the UK, with my sister who I haven't seen for almost 7 years. Storm Chandra has been buzzing around but it's nit been too bad here. Planning a trip to Kendall, Glasgow, Skye, Inverness, Edinburgh, Lindisfarne and then Rochdale, but if the forecast and predictions of blizzards and blankets of snow are accurate I am not sure of that will happen! TBH I am citied out, though I would like to see Skye again, and the Highlands. My Mum and ancestors hail from Wester Ross. I was holding out against Manchester but then my sister finally had to divulge that she had booked us a tour on the Coronation Street Experience!! Corrie is something I got addicted to last year, having never watched it before, and it is my comfort food! YouTube seems far away, I have made a couple videos but not even looked at them, I feel so ungrounded and like nothing is real. I came here to catch up and try and sort of land myself. So big love to you all and looking forward to reading the posts I have missed! The photo shows one of our planes dumping 40,000 gallons of fuel into the atmosphere :(
