Holiday Festivities

Going homing literally felt like a fly in fly out visit. I was out of Barcelona for a total of two weeks and four days. The first time I stepped through my front door, I felt like I had never left. I loved Barcelona, loved living there and everything else that I got to experience, but I then realised I really was ready to come home! The first part of being home flew by. For the day after I arrived home, my grandparents had sorted out being able to go and visit a house that was currently on the market. The house was an absolutely incredible design. Split over ten small levels, the interior design and architecture was very inspiring to visit. The guy who owned the house, a fabric designer, took us round and explained how everything had been made and produced and why they had done it in the way they had. I asked him why he was moving, as he seemed so inspired when talking about where he lived. His answer - "I'm ready for the next project, and I want that to be even more beautiful than this". 

The part of being home before christmas went very very quickly. Seeing as it was only actually three days before christmas day, that wasn't much of a surprise!! Santa was very good to our house this year - which set us all in a good mood for what was about to come. Within a space of five days, I had travelled from Barcelona to Luton to Nottingham to Birmingham to Switzerland to France! For the next week - skiing was the only thing I was going to think about! 

Before I knew it, I had travelled back in reverse and was sitting back in my room in Barcelona with a winter of snow, skiing and family just a distant memory. The saddest thing about leaving home to come back to BCN was realising that I was only coming back for three weeks, and after that, this whole experience is going to be over - an experience that I am just not ready to let go of yet. I feel like living in Barcelona has become a part of my life, something that I have enjoyed more than I ever thought I could enjoy! Coming back to Chelsea now seems very scary, and I never thought I would say this, but I'm just not ready!!!
