Having two homes is stressful

The reality of having two homes is not so easy as you might imagine.

One of the things I have had to accept since moving to Catalunya is that the process of moving is slow and there is going to be a period of transition which is quite uncomfortable.  I love my new life but I also feel deeply attached to my old home and especially because my two border collies are still living there, being taken care of in their familiar home but without me.

I hope to resolve this as soon as I can but in the meantime, we went back to visit Cornwall for Easter
It was the first time my partner and his son had been in the UK and I felt responsible for making it a good trip.   So, what happened?
St Michaels Mount was still there and looked beautiful in the sunshine
We  got terrible colds which meant all our plans had to be changed
It also rained a lot and I felt sad that my new family didn’t see Cornwall at it’s best.
Spending time in my own cottage was wonderful and being with my dogs was bliss.

It is sometimes very hard having two homes and wanting to be in both of them.
We were still coughing on the ferry trip back  from Plymouth to Santander
I drove to Granollers in my little white van, bringing back essentials such as Twinings Earl Grey Tea and my blue Denby teapot, four fine china mugs and a very uplifting table clothBut two essential dogs had to be left behind … next time……… I hope… they can make the journey.
