107 is as close to, and as far from everyday life as it is possible to get. It is isolated, yes, but we have neighbours and there is a real sense of community, so we are no longer alone, potentially isolated by language, by distance or by choice.
For this too is home, this too is where we want to be; but it is, perhaps, where we are most truly ourselves.
.... and home. Smooth, fast flight to Bristol. Huge queue for a taxi. One of the desk ladies, who also drives, kindly left the desk and brought us home. Garden green, spring flowers in full bloom. What a difference a day makes.
