Distance no object

Today I am grateful that in this day and age, it is not a problem to cross the sea  and travel half the length of the country to see friends and family.

I am also grateful that I have the use of a decent laptop to write this on tonight, and am not reliant on the footery wee i-pods!!! (Which was, by the way, my own fault, for not being bothered to bring my own laptop!!)

Anyway, it is amazing to be able to just get into the car and drive. I am so lucky that, having left my homeland, I am not forced to never set foot here again. I guess in the past, it wasn't so easy. The world is so much smaller these days, and we all have so much more, it really is incredible.

And it is so great to be able to catch up with friends that I don't see from one end of the year to the next, and, of course, family that I don't see much more often! (Other than on Skype, which is, of course, another amazing modern piece of technology!)

Good times!

Take time to stop and appreciate it once in a while, and realise just how lucky we are.

Gratefully yours.
