Home safe now, after driving for three hours, contending with the M62, a blizzard of sleet and next to zero visibility.
Have spent most of the last week back in the county of my birth. Before my Mam died last year, my sister, brother and I really didn't interact so much. Being the elders of the family now (mostly), we've kind of mutually and wordlessly decided to keep in touch.
It's been nice, but kinda disappointing to hear when their memories of our parents differ from my own, cherished memories.
Still, little nostalgic reflection has been a good thing for me, I think.
