Even so, it was important to me to get a sense of my roots, even if it was just a case of walking around ...
A day at home
... I now arrange the shattered pieces around the trees to keep the heat off the soil and make a mental note that I need another table.

I leave, grateful and satisfied. Tomorrow I must start my journey back to the UK, and back to the photos and the plans.
