ON RETURN from our recent holiday in France and Italy, I was happy to be back in the spaciousness and quiet of Inverloch. Travelling is always an eye-opener for a curious mind. Different places, different languages and different foods stimulated me immensely. I embraced the whole experience of travelling. Although not everything was rosy, I tried to stay positive. We visited many incredible places, walked hilltop paths with superb views, and tasted delectable local produce. I was delighted when local people understood my tentative French.
In one way six weeks went like in the blink of an eye, yet six weeks were quite a long time to be away from home. When I saw the lush green hills of Gippsland, and the bright colour of the water from the window of the VLine bus, the feeling of homecoming was intense.
