This week I said goodbye to England, and jetted off to visit my wonderful friends Heidi & Jay in Santa Cruz, California. My journey was not without it’s drama – Heidi turned up to get me from the airport, and there was no Sallie to be seen. Somehow, I had managed to get the date of my flight wrong. Fortunately, Heidi worked her magic and got me on a flight the next day.
They have taken me in for four whole weeks, and I am so happy to be able to spend this time with them. I’ve missed Heidi unbelievably much since she left the UK, but she looks so well here. The lifestyle is good for her. It brings me joy to see her find her place in the world.
On my first day here I managed to stay awake until 7:30pm, and tonight it’s 9pm and I’m falling asleep. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll be able to stay awake for normal person hours.
In the next few weeks I plan to start working my way through some of the list items – I hear there are some fab ice-cream places in Santa Cruz, and Jay is pretty excited about helping me learn to appreciate beer.
