Isn't it funny, here I am living in S.W. France for 4 years now, which is basically my current home, and I still refer to Northern Ireland as my home. But it was the same when I lived in Canada, and South Africa, I always referred to home as being N.I.
So our flights are booked and now the count-down begins. It's only 5 weeks away and already I am excited. Lucky enough we know someone who will mind our dogs, Bailey (caviler king charles) and Buttons (Cocker spaniel), she has been looking after them whenever we go on holiday, and she stays in our house which is an added bonus.
This time of year we have to get two flights unfortunately, Jet2 travel from Toulouse to Belfast direct, but only from May to Sept. So we have to get a flight from Toulouse to Gatwick with Easyjet, and then from Gatwick to Belfast. But we consider it a holiday and take advantage of drinks on the plane and shopping in the airports and of course when we hit Belfast oh! la! la!
All the things I look forward to are seeing family and friends. When we are descending in the plane into Belfast the first thing I always notice is how green everything is, of course with lots of rain its bound to be greener.
The next thing I notice is how easy it is to communicate with everybody, you don't have to think what you are going to say when going into a shop or asking questions it just seems so natural. Then there is the shopping, it is so nice to see all the familiar things like my favourite sweets and chocolate. Clothes are so much easier to buy and shoes. Of course with it being November all the shops will be getting ready for christmas also, can't wait.
Quote for today:
'Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.'
