What a well traveled crowd we are. Sydell, from memory Derby is way up the top of WA. I also seem to recall that we heard the story of a man who made his home in a hollow boab as it was so large. But that might have been a story made up by the locals who are fond of teasing nomads.Tricia McGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02096440033015601944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386912343147794659.post-81396825737138810632014-10-26T22:00:39.042-06:002014-10-26T22:00:39.042-06:00Tricia, I so enjoyed your blog post.

Although I grew up in WA state, I don't recall the town of Derby. I guess I'll have to haul out my map, huh? Anyway, it looks like it was out in the desert somewhere, probably in the central part of the state. At any rate, I'm like you. I love to be home--just not "all" the time!Sydell Voellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02862642258281995462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386912343147794659.post-4960206600229156902014-10-26T19:23:46.062-06:002014-10-26T19:23:46.062-06:00Loved your post Tricia.

I have fond memories of various places in Devon and Cornwall.I had a 4-day stop over in Singapore on my way to New Zealand and loved every aspect of what I could see of Australia as we flew across it. It was clear all the way across to the Great Barrier Reef which was covered in cloud going out and returning to the UK. I envy you your home, I never expected to be a geriatric gypsy but I'm still floating between Canada, which I love and the UK, where my family is.

Never been to Australia, but my father was posted there and in New Zealand during WWII (US Navy). He and my mother returned in the early '80s and received the royal treatment. One of these days, I'd love to go. Have been to England, though. It was spring and the weather didn't disappoint; it was cold and rainy until the day we left :-)<br /><br />But you are so right. As Dorothy says at the end of the Wizard Oz, "There's no place like home." Especially with my special pillow.Kathy Fischer-Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846116949645699035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386912343147794659.post-19303569399172499632014-10-26T17:29:01.078-06:002014-10-26T17:29:01.078-06:00Hi Tricia,

I did some traveling when I was younger and like you, I stick close to home these days. My last trip was to England taking along a fourteen month old grandchild to see his grandmother. That was a trip to remember. London was great though. Have flown from the east coast to California and often to Florida.Janet Lane Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488093917556546485noreply@blogger.com
