 On our last night Philip and Trs gave me lovely gifts from Tainan and Kaoushiung and I gave them some gifts too. I felt quite weepy most of my penultimate day; I spent most of the day packing and recovering from a 3.00 AM late night with lots of wine. On my last day we went for a lovely walk in the campus and had a coffee in my favourite little cafe. It was quite emotional being back at The Mountain House.  I finished my packing had a shower and got dressed in my travel clothes. We watched Philip's 50th birthday video of the pictures from the boat celebration and the Lightmans video. It was gorgeous to see it all again but of course tugged at my heartstrings. Philip showed how many things there are to watch on youtube; I had no idea. We watched videos of the places we had been on out travels. It was so good to see them all again.

My final Blog from Taiwan

 After posting my penultimate blog I felt a wee bit sad. It is complicated for me because my two sons live in different parts of the world. When I am with one I miss the other; I realise many folk would say I am lucky to spend so much time with my grown up sons and I am .I am truly grateful for them and for my three step children their partners and my eight grandchildren I have much to be grateful for .I know I am blessed  I am looking forward so much to seeing Andrew and Lucy soon , then, J&E P&S and the six grandchildren in UK,  AND, I am going to miss seeing so much of Philip and Teresa. I always adapt quickly after the final goodbyes; often is is the build up to it that throws me in to sadness a sense of loss. It is a mini grief. Andrew and Lucy have organised a long weekend in Scotland for us soon after I get home and I will see many of my family there including my new grand niece. I have booked to go to Castalla in late September till mid October and that is...

Epilogue , last few days and return to Liverpool

Image
14th February; Valentine's Day  On my last Saturday in Castalla we had a quiet beginning to the day ...then the wind started up again. I decided to stay home and to start my farewell to Castlenel cleaning.It takes me about three days to really arrive here and get things opened up I don't like to rush it I do things very gradually and  savour the moments. It is the same  when I am leaving . I take my time put things away gradually so it is not too shocking. I spent five hours cleaning Castlenel from top to bottom ; I listened to a combination of pop music to keep me moving; Love's Executioner  by Irving Yalom and The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton read by Kate Winslet. I could not resist buying it when I saw it on Amazon Audible. I enjoyed making everything sparkly; I washed all the crockery and cutlery on the shelves; wiped surfaces, washed floors and polished what had to be polished ; I don't think Maria polishes, she dusts, as do my cleaners in Liverpool.  ...
