Bu...It was not a rambling post, it was delightful! But 600 miles in one day?? That was an absolute maximum for us in our student days of exploring America. Even 400 is a pretty good number of miles in one day. When we traveled with the kids (when they were barely school age), 300 - 350 was our goal. So nice to see Willow and her brother. Scruffy was so pleased to see us he even slept half the night on our bed. He doesn't usually sleep on the bed. I think I move around too much.<br />Incidentally, when my grandmother's cats acted like that she would say they've "got the wind in their tail."ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-48960313305341672992011-12-07T18:16:43.580-05:002011-12-07T18:16:43.580-05:00I too have lemon balm not far from the front door....I too have lemon balm not far from the front door. Close enough to run your hands through and release that wonderful scent in summer.<br /><br />You travel a long way ( compared to our English distances) on J`s buying expeditions. A great way to explore but it is always good to get home.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-1034327012609135672011-12-07T13:37:49.303-05:002011-12-07T13:37:49.303-05:00I love to travel too, but gosh, is it good to get ...I love to travel too, but gosh, is it good to get home and get back into a normal routine again. Then you can take a few quiet moments in the day to look back and savour what you saw.<br /><br />I have Lemon Balm here in my garden too - introduced by me - and split several times so it is all over the place now. I love the scent of it and used to cut big bunches to hang in the house from the beams.<br /><br />As for cat behaviour - I imagine you are quite an expert! I know when I have been away at all and left Keith in charge, mine give me the cold shoulder for a couple of hours or so to let me know their displeasure. <br /><br />Fahly-horse used to do the same. Quite sniffy he got!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-27045105383554214002011-12-07T08:39:09.252-05:002011-12-07T08:39:09.252-05:00I love reading about your idyllic rambles MM! Isn...I love reading about your idyllic rambles MM! Isn't lemon balm miraculous? It shows up in the most unexpected places. Your tale of the cats acting wild reminds me that my little dog, George, always returns to his primeval roots each season for a day or two, howling and being disobedient. Makes me wonder if given free reign, how quickly he would return to his wolf ancestry?Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-52188241232221698212011-12-07T06:42:35.813-05:002011-12-07T06:42:35.813-05:00How precious are those uninterrupted days at home,...How precious are those uninterrupted days at home, especially after all the hours on the road! But you are seeing a lot of lovely countryside while on the road. It's good to have some of both, and what a nice life you have there. It will be a Happy Kitty Day for sure today, with you amongst them again!MTVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503109991875159708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-36419534669170764932011-12-07T06:26:42.157-05:002011-12-07T06:26:42.157-05:00Fabby heartwarming post MM.

I loved the descriptiveness you brought to this and the sense of quiet and peace on your return. I enjoy being aout and about but coming home is a welcome pleasure anytime.<br /><br />Thanks for that - you started me off witha smile.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-87217789745673407822011-12-07T01:58:32.168-05:002011-12-07T01:58:32.168-05:00It's promising to turn a little more "sea...It's promising to turn a little more "seasonal" over here in the next few days.
