Back in Stockholm

59 North: Sandra Carpenter at a New South Wales farm

Two adjoining fields at White Box, Uncle Peter's farm in Tubbel, New South Wales. I am already missing the warm sunshine.

Robert and I got home to Stockholm yesterday about 4.30 and at 5, we had a visit from James O’Brien, a blogging friend (see his blog). James has been in Stockholm while we were in Australia and now he is on his way back home to Sydney. We literally had just over one hour that we could meet before James had to hop on a plane, so it was amazing that we could make the timing work.

James O'Brien meets Sandra Carpenter

I got the chance to meet fellow blogger and traveller James O'Brien yesterday. Notice my tired jet lagged eyes! After 38 hours of travel, I was just happy to be standing.

It was so fantastic to make the transition home with an Aussie who loves it here. And it was also interesting to meet someone for the first time who I already knew a lot about thanks to his blog and his comments on mine. Thus James, Robert and I were able to easily talk about our travels and the places we had in common. It turns out that he lived in Wagga Wagga and also knew Young, the small town where Robert grew up. Sometimes, the world feels small indeed.

Oh no, sorry about the bags James. Hopefully it will come soon. I am on my second day back and still moving slow this morning. But I am hoping to feel fantastic later…
