Homesick

One of the first thing most people ask me is if I'm going home to have the baby. In all honesty it hadn't occurred to me til people started asking that. I migrated here, and planned on having a family here...eventually. However, at this time of year, when it starts growing darker and colder I always pine for London. Late Autumn in London is the best time of year; there's Halloween, bonfire night, my birthday and then Christmas. The lights go up my mid November, and the shops put up their displays. Then there's mulled wine, casseroles, gingerbread and country pubs with a roaring fire. Winter in Australia is one long drudge of poorly heated homes, people in denial that's it's winter at all and like Narnia Chirsitmas never comes. I'm definitely going to go up in the mountains for Christmas in July. Even if I'm hugely pregnant and it's icy I don't care; Winter needs Christmas.
