It was really nice to see my family again, haven't actually seen my parents or properly spoken to them apart from online for over three months now. I went with my mum and dad to the carboot sale down the road from my house. It wasn't very good, pretty crap actually, there wasn't anything worth taking a second look at. Not that I ever go to a carboot sale expecting it to be good and pick up something I don't even know I want yet. I remember back when I was a young lad the carboot sale was amazing, it was a great way to spend a Sunday morning, maybe even buy something I will later realise I didn't even need. Like I imagined I found absolutely nothing, just spent a couple of hours walking around surrounded by crap.
At least the weather is fantastic in England at the moment, I left paradise where it was sun all day long and extreme heat to home where it usually rains all time but it isn't at right now, far from.After the carboot I had the usual family dinner at my grandmother's house, my brothers and their girlfriends where there too. Felt really strange to be back doing exactly the same thing I would normally be doing apart from working as I left my job to go travelling in the first place. I surprised my grandmother before I went there to eat, I snuck up to her room as she was still sleeping, I slowly popped my head around the corner and she didn't believe it was me. She thought she was still dreaming, even when I gave her a hug and she didn't let me go for a couple of minutes, I was definitely a pleasant surprise for her.
Later that night I went to my local pub 'The Regent' to have some beer, I was really excited to be able to drink some tasty real ales again, none of those flavourless lagers I have been forced to have in south America. I met up with a few old work mates and a couple of other mates, obviously I ended up getting quite drunk, more than I thought I would and felt at the time.
