Home at last
One fast week of hard slog and awe inspiring scenery is over. Queenstown is a beautiful place. The time with my parents was special. The Routeburn track was a great experience, rain or not. But the flights home couldn’t end fast enough. A mist covered mountain as you round a bend is something to behold but it pales to watching your children run across a sun speckled park. Tripping and falling, laughing. You can almost see the sparkles under their feet. Not the first time it’s brought a tear to my eye, love so great it hurts. Just beautiful, trying new things, the simple wonder of a cycle stand, testing themselves, expanding their skills. It takes your breath away. Ben, Luca, Flynn, I love you dearly, desperately.
