Countdown

Only four weeks left! And they will be busy, so before we know it we will be dragging our heels to reluctantly get on that flight home. Of course it will be lovely to see family and friends, but our time here has left us wanting more.

So what will be keeping us occupied in these final weeks? Happily, very happily, family will be visiting next week. Just for a week, but it will be fun showing them places and sharing meals with face-to-face conversation. The car will really come into its own, with the freedom to hit the shops, see the sights and enjoy a must-visit for the seven-year-old twin boys, Waterbom Park.

A few days after they jet off, not home but to Hong Kong (lucky boys), the Writers Festival happens. And that really is a full-on four days. I will have much more to say about this event soon.

And after that? We will go to the village of Munduk in north Bali for five days to take part in a housing program being run by Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.

Then to the airport, and home.

So, you can see we have plans. And next year? More plans.

But we haven't left yet, so these pages will continue to keep you up to date.
