We woke up one day to bright skies and fresh smog and a strange feeling in the pits of our stomachs. No, it wasn't the lentil dahl eaten the night before, but the familiar pull of far away home.
This particular morning we were planning to visit the Taj Mahal, but before we went out we said to each other: "Let's go home." There was no drama or upset; it was a simple decision.
With in two hours we had cancelled our flight from Kathmandu and rebooked one from Delhi. With in four days we were back, overjoyed at being on British soil for the first time in 14 months. When we came out of customs into Heathrow's entry lounge the red carpet was laid out and people began cheering and the trumpets started playing.... (OK, that was in our heads!) But Sam's dad did have a huge banner: "Welcome home Sam and Garry - world travellers!"
Welcome home indeed!
No way?!! We'd have come to Heathrow with trumpets if we hadn't read this nearly a week left!! How do we get in touch?? Are you gracing Cheltenham with your presence at all soon?? So cool to know you are back on terra firma... Do give us a shout: 07710589712 xxx
