chez alice

I was asked a couple of days ago where I live. I gave the name of my tiny village here "La Chal" and didn't realise that the answer they were looking for was where I live in England. But right now, I live in La Chal, not London. My clothes, books and DVDs, my food and my bed is in La Chal. I feel that my home is where I lay my head that week, perhaps one day I will have a greater bond with a specific place but right now I only attach myself to people not places. 

I miss my people quite a bit and am looking forward to a few more coming and visiting. Right now I have an old friend here in the resort near my house. It's been great having someone around from my past (we worked out we've known each other for 20 years!). I think come February half term and the weeks around then I will have a bit of an invasion and I will be able to warm my lovely flat with too much wine and food (even if it has to be cooked in the microwave).
