Back from the USA · 11:32am Jun 22nd, 2019
After two weeks in the US of A, I have returned alive and well.
I've stayed the last couple of weeks with my family in Cundy's Harbor, Maine, enjoying some much needed relaxation, peace, and quiet. For the first time in longer than I care to recall there were no dogs barking, no kids screaming, and nothing but a happy appreciation for the natural beauty of this state where I met some truly wonderful people. This holiday was full of firsts for me: First time on a plane, first time in the US, first time piloting a boat, and so on and so forth.
If there was one thing that truly struck me about the US, other than the beautiful weather, how clean everything was and the mind boggling amount of signs(!), it was how friendly everyone was (Other than the customs staff in the airport who were the complete opposite) . I don't know whether it's the abundance of sunshine or something else, but I was made to feel so welcome by complete strangers that it gave me a renewed faith in humanity.
The United Kingdom is my home and I have a family and friends here, but there was something about Maine that really touched my heart. I hope to go back one day, and who knows, maybe one day I will. Still, as much as I would love to live there myself, the mosquitoes are a serious problem for me, and I was almost eaten alive! Say what you like about the UK and its grey, dreary weather, but at least I don't wake up in the night feeling like I need to scrub myself all over with sandpaper. Damn those things are nasty! 
Mind you, it was a price I would gladly pay to enjoy living in such an expanse of natural marvels.
Work on the new story will hopefully start soon.
Toodles.
