Thursday 19th March, LHR

And so a last day in KL with a visit to the Petronas Building, the highest twin towers in the world, and a taxi trip out of the city and up to the Orang Asli (Aboriginal) Museum, to see if I can find any familiar facial features, seeing as I have a tiny proportion of 'local blood' in my veins! I give the last front photo to Rosa Mary, my great grandmother, whose face is so distinctively Asian, and so sweet and bright.

And a last trip to the night market with its fabulous street food stands. Can you guess what is being sold and eaten here?! Durian in the mix ... you know, the marmite-to-the-nth-degree fruit so smelly it's forbidden in hotels.

And the Very Last Flight, back to 'home'. Home, that is, of the home-less type, because we are still poised on the knife-edge of exchanging contracts on the new house in Devon.

The sun is shining and spring has definitely sprung in our absence. How lovely to be back in familiar old scruffy old England, with an amazing adventure behind me and another ahead. We go to Birmingham this weekend to celebrate Jem's 30th birthday with all the family, will visit respective mothers for several days next week, and hope hope hope that our agreed completion date of no-joke-honest-guv April 1st will see us resident in Sidmouth. Address to follow, folks! Thanks for reading and 'being with' me these two months. I appreciate you.Read more
