Overseas and missing home
an experience of the outback
As I sit in a foreign house with foreign weather and foreign shows on TV, I start to feel rather lonely! It started with our house sitter sending me pic's of our three cats and the little things they do, then I watched Chasers war on everything and laughed a lot, then to loss... today I watched a wonderful show by Ray Mears as he was doing a show on 'walkabout' in the Kimberly's, WA. I have always wanted to visit the Kimberly's since I was young when our family visited Bedford Downs back in 1979. I want to revisit there one day. Then sitting in a VERY rainy and cold SUMMER in the UK with not much money to go anywhere and waiting to move into our own place, I watched this wonderful show which touched on the warmth, vastness, ancientness and openness that is Australia (the lovely warm weather and big blue skys made my missing Australia even worse) gosh it made me miss 'home', and i only just got here damn it!
