When friends ask me where my children live, they are surprised to find that two of them live abroad, son in Australia and daughter in Canada.
This month half have come home!
My daughter has lived in Canada for over twenty years, working at the University in Vancouver. My grandson has just finished his degree, and the time came for them to return to UK.
It's so exciting, seeing their little car stop by most days, popping in for tea, to do a bit of shopping, or just to discuss what the next plan is.
Ably assisted by her brother who lives locally and is a fount of all knowledge, they have rented a very nice newish apartment, and the next step is to partly furnish it whilst waiting for their furniture to be shipped.
So much to look forward to.

How exciting to have your daughter back home again, in close visiting distance!
Oh what a blessing 😊😊
Oh my, how exciting! I'm so happy for you! xox
So so happy for you!
Oh I am so happy for you to have them close by! It seems a rare thing for children to stay close to their parents these days. I am very happy that I do have my son & his family near me. I see my son every workday morning when he brings my grandson to stay with me during the day, then my sweet daughter-in-law when she comes to pick him up. It makes for full happy days.
Oh, I know you must be ecstatic! I know how I felt when my son and his family returned to our state after eight years away! I am so happy for you!
So happy for you all. May this Christmas be especially blessed as you can celebrate as family together x
I am thrilled for you such happy news indeed.
I am so pleased for you. My daughter is about 10 minutes drive away and my son is 90 minutes away. My grandson is about 2 hours
Have a wonderful Christmas.
