We were out on Thursday with Steve and Graham for dinner. This was a birthday celebration for both Graham and me as it fell somewhere between our two birthdays. We went to Pepper & Oz which was lovely but rather eye-wateringly expensive! Probably not down to the food to be honest...it was 1.50 each for the tonic in the gin!! The food was lovely though, as was the company. We were getting advice for planning our NZ trip. Graham lived there for 11 years and is a great resource for planning!!
We were talking about how its possible to love being where you are, but also to miss somewhere so much. I had a big burst of homesickness for Old Town last weekend. Halloween was such a big thing on Lee St (people came from literally miles around to trick or treat on Lee St!) and it was a huge non-event here! I really felt I should be carving pumpkins (and y'all know I didn't really enjoy doing that!) and handing out candy...but there aren't many kids near us in the village and we didn't get one single knock on the door.
