Well there are now 11 hours until my parents come and collect me and take me to the airport and I return to my life in Karachi. I am almost ready, at least everythin gthat has to go is in the same room, if not exactly packed at the moment!!
I sit here with mixed feelings. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here in the UK and I have seen nearly everyone I want to, though some have slipped through the net. I have had a mix of holiday, work and just vegging out which has been fantastic. I am happy to be going back but am not excited. When I look back to last year it seems almost like a dream, which may sound strange but it's the only way I can explain how I feel. I am sure that when I get back there tomorrow I will slot back into life there and the UK will retreat into dreamland!!
Last week was a busy one which I spent cooking for 70 at The Great Adventure, which is a Scripture Union Holiday for 11-14 year olds which is held at Gilling Castle in Yorkshire. It was a great week and the food went down very well, and if I do say so myself the lasagne was particularly good!
The news from Andrew and Tamkeen is that the weather in Karachi is pleasant and that the AC is unnecessary over night which will be a great improvement on what we have had in the UK for the last 9 weeks. It has really struck me whilst I have been here the variation that there is in British weather and that is something we don't get in Karachi, as it is hot, followed by hot, with intermitant hot!!
Well I had better do something about this packing or else I won't be going anywhere, more later...
