Hearth and Home

Sometimes I think we go on vacations so we’ll appreciate our homes more. I know it’s why people go camping. There’s nothing like a night in a tent for making you cherish your own bed. In a few weeks we’ll leave the place we’ve called home for nearly three years. It’ll be at least another two months before our furniture catches up with us and we can settle down again. Today, on Roof Over Your Head Day, I’m thinking of the things I’ll miss most about this house. Like so many English homes, it’s built of stone. That means I can’t make a cell phone call indoors, but it also means it’s quiet in here even when the neighbours set off fireworks. I love my gas stove, stainless steel sink, and marble counters. I’ll really miss the clean, quiet radiators and the on-demand water heater.
