Homesick

 When I don't sleep well, I find it harder to cope - it goes without saying really I guess. Today I have been in pieces, despite Tam and Rosie being here.  The (Youtube) walks chosen by Dave's Country Walks with Logan (his Whippet) kept showing places I knew well.  The one in Burley followed another Burley walk with another lass, and they just destroyed me - so many happy memories of the New Forest.  Tears have been pestering me all day.  I just wanted to get in the car and drive back to Hampshire or Dorset and relive some happy memories.

I took the decision to postpone my visit to New Zealand as it has been difficult to pull everything together, and as you can see from the first paragraph, I am horribly homesick and the thought of travelling to the other side of the world, even though I would be seeing my best friend from school days, is just overwhelming me.  Keith was my rock and even a relatively simple thing like checking out all the candidates for covering the house insurance (dealt with mainly by Tam today) has floored me.  My brain was swimming in circles towards the end, comparing what was on offer.  

So, some Time Out needed.  I will be very glad to get Gabby's quilt finished - nearly there - just need a couple of varied strips along the top as it's not quite deep enough.  Then I can pin the wadding and back in place.  

Sorry I'm not at my chattiest today.  Hopefully I will sleep better and feel better tomorrow, although the next Worry is nearly upon me - the Fair at the weekend.
