I finally step off the train at Cambridge North seven hours after leaving the Pelican of London. I stop to collect my thoughts, which are quickly interrupted by the sight of Sophie, Charlotte, Elizabeth and Anna all running along the platform to be the first to hug me for the first time in four weeks.
Back home Sophie, Charlotte, and Elizabeth play “Sailing” as a trio on clarinet, piano, and violin, which they’ve been learning over half term.
It’s good to be back.
Big thanks to to Anna for agreeing to me going on this adventure.
Would I do it all again? Definitely.
