Back to Base… again

I have been doing a lot of travelling back and forth for some weeks now, and even though these have been work related trips, I have considered them vacations because I have been away from home and off of my day to day chores…plus, i have been spending a lot of time bonding and being with a lot of loved ones.

No matter how much I love the time away, it always feels good to be back home after every trip because as they say; “North south east west, home is best” and “there is no place like home”.

I remember one trip I made 6 years ago, I made notes and took photos of my brother in-law’s house plants and how his wife has arranged them. I brought that thought back home with me…I wanted something just like that. Took me a while but I’ve begun to recreate it.

Today, I just got back from a work trip where I stayed with my friend from University. We have remained friends for over 20 years. We have a good friendship. When we stepped out of her house this morning, she busied herself through her plants and returned with these:

I have gladly added them to my collection.

I’m glad I brought back these plants, whenever I return, I try to make sure to come back with something, not always physical things, most of them come in my mind.
