UK - London - Home Sweet Home :-)

Well ... I am home! :-) To sunny blue skies, friends, family, Christmas trees and fairy lights! maybe some snow next week to top it off!

Has been an amazing 6 months, better than I could have imagined! Have meet some really lovely people and made some long lasting friends! Seen loads of great places, done some exciting and some scary silly things! (Hang gliding was scary)

Am missing the wonderful children, managers, teachers and volunteers at the Hogar Miguel Magone Orphanage in Guatemala. I hope to go back next year to see them again. Check out their website, which my friend Tom designed and built for them.

See you soon and hope you have enjoyed reading my blog. There are a few holes which I think I will fill, with a glass of wine and a nice warm fire.

Watch out for "To Infinity and Beyond" Part 3 ... join me if you can :-)x

HAVE A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A FANTASTIC, MERRY NEW YEAR!
We have one world and one set of stars!

Love Karenx
