We've been home (back in the UK) for 6 months now after travelling for 14 months as a family, plenty of time to move back into our house and fill it with all the crap associated with a 'normal' existence, all the things we shook off when we left.

So... It's been six years since we got back from our big family travels. A lot can happen in six years and the kids are growing at a pace that's completely overwhelming. We have 'settled' back into life in the UK, which for all its problems is an amazing country and we love it here. We've got back on track with our careers and the kids are progressing well with their schooling. As for travel, thankfully we still haven't stopped.

I've long been a fan of your fabulous photos and fun, informative blogs. My camera was just nicked in La Paz, Bolivia, and I'm trying to decide on a new one.
