As ever I'm staggered by how quickly the time has gone during the last week.
Yesterday Karen and I went to the Catholic church which was full and with people standing.
Having fulfilled our spiritual needs we met Leslie and her husband Ken for lunch over near where Karen used to live. Brunch here is never small but it was good food and then on to the Yacht club for drinks on the deck which overlooks the Bay and bridges in the distance. It was a beautiful day and we sat and chatted with members of the club - oh how the other half live!!
In the evening Frank, Marisol and her boyfriend Thomas came round and Karen cooked a lovely roast lamb dinner. Lots of wine, bacardi and good company for my last night here in San Francisco.
This morning will be spent packing my rucksack for the last time and figuring out how I'm going to get everything in - I do usually manage it though.
I did have a minor panic when I tried to check my flights online to find that my flight number and flight times didn't match. The number I had was due to fly at 1pm and it was 11am and I hadn't packed. After a few phones cals (with automated voices) I eventually got through to someone who confirmed that I was on the 7.20pm flight so near heart attack avoided. Phew !
So here I am at the end of a fantastic 6 and a half months which have given me so many memorable times and treasured moments.
I am so looking forward to coming home and seeing Ceri,Dave and our Rubes and of course all of my friends, but most of all (and I can share this news with you now) becoming a grandma in March next year - Yes Ceri and Mark are expecting!!
I'd better go and pack now and once I'm back I'll probably do one more blog when I reflect on my trip.
Thank you all so much for following my blog and keeping me company while I've been away.
Take care and love to all
Sue. xxxxxxxxxxxx

Well Sue....the time has come to post one last message and I truly can't believe that you are homeward bound after 6 months away...where did the months go.
So looking forward to seeing you back in and around Hanham again and catching up with you in person but thank you for keeping us all up to date whilst you have been away. It's felt as if we have been on your journey with you...if only!...so thank you for your effort in keeping in touch with us. Have a safe journey back and see you in the next few days, GRANDMA!. Love Trish and family. x x x x
PS Congratulations Ceri and Mark....I think you may be OK for babysitters in Hanham! Louise and Nicola will be fighting each other for the job! See you soon!
