At Home Again

So the last few days have been spent getting their house and garden in order and settling in.  It is now spring here and the neighbours are busily planting their rice fields and getting their vegetable gardens in order I feel quite jealous at times for only having such a small area to play with.  However there is more than enough to do in reality even with a tiny garden.

  On Thursday we will go into Tokyo and catch up with the relatives.  On Sunday I go to Kamakura to meet my host family and start preparations for the course that starts on Monday. The family have kindly invited Tomono to come too and to have a look around Kamakura for a few days. Its the ancient capital south of Tokyo and one of her favorite places.



Breakfast at home:Three sorts of fish roe, three sorts of pickles, seaweed, tomato salad.. Then fruit and yoghourt

Arrival


We arrived on Thursday last week, 26th June 2012, and it is really like riding in a time machine with Dr Who. Lunch in Adelaide, breakfast in another world and yet a familiar house with our things in it.Weather is gloirous, house and garden will provide plenty of work in the next week
