Oh alright, yes, we're home. I know I said it would be a few days and it's been a few weeks but we sort of hit the ground running with putting ourselves, home and garden in order - including a full rewiring of all the lights in Sheila's house, which involved moving everything... and that's a LOT of stuff.
And yes, there was a little part of me that was quite happy staying in Rio - or many of the other places we've been on this journey.
