Rose: Two months ago today our overnight ferry from Harwich docked in Holland. It feels like yesterday and years ago all at once. The road has been very winding if not all that long so far. There've been ups and downs along the road, as we knew there would be, and many more to come. Everyone who's travelled knows how every little thing can feel magnified when you're on the road, far away from home. Emotions are heightened, little problems feel big. The highs can feel higher and at times like that, every smile on a stranger's face I see makes me want to weep with the beauty of the world. I'm a self-confessed soppy git for sure.
Huw: A good life is meeting good people. I know many already, far more than I deserve, but this trip is showing me even more. Every day away I miss someone at home, but everyday away I meet someone phenomenal. They all help me see the world clearer or from a new perspective. I just hope I am giving something in return. So two months away? Away from what? I am here. I just wish you were too.
For our wonderful and much-missed friends and family back home, here is a wave and a kiss for you all:
