A Sense of Home - July Travel Link Up

This month's travel linkup topic is Home.

It got me thinking as to what makes a place feel like home to me.

Although a lot of people have connections with the physical place, home to me has more to do with the people and the sense of belonging you get.

I love the Adelaide sceneries, the Hills, the beaches, the wineries, the most important thing about is the people that I love and who love me. My family and most of my friends are back in Adelaide, and when I go home, they are always there to support me and share in experiences.

I can say the same for the people I meet in London. Being an Antipodean in London, a lot of us have the same values - making the most of life, visiting new places, experiencing new cultures and foods, learning history of places we've never even heard about before.

I have made a great group of friends here in London, who I have shared many new experiences with.

Home is a sense of belonging.

Psychic Fair

Last weekend a close community hall held a Wellness and Spiritual Fair which Mum and I decided to head down to.

I've always been fascinated with the idea of 'psychics' and Mum has been to a few which are apparently spot on, so I chose one (who seemed to be the fairly priced and didn't have much of a waiting time). 

The particular lady I saw used Intuition Cards along with Angel Cards.

 Armed with Mum's sage advice - 'don't tell her anything, let her do the 'seeing'' I sat down and shuffled, shuffled, shuffled. The clairvoyant laid my cards out for me.

 Everything that she said could be relayed back to what I want to do with my life - I was quite happy that she came out with 'are you looking at moving out of home? Quite far away? It looks like it's going to happen, but it may be put on hold for a bit.'   Sorry Mum, looks like I will be moving back to England!

After the cards were read, you get an opportunity to ask the angels a particular question. I asked if I would ever get married and have babies? (Because at 25 I'm clearly on the shelf)... and the Yes card came up! *Disclaimer - I'm currently missing the key ingredient of the baby making recipe, but Mum was happy to know that she would (eventually) get some grand-kids to look after out of me! 

While I was watching my future unfold, Mum was experiencing Reiki. 

Reiki is the healing technique where the healer 'channels' energy into the patient through touch, which activates the natural healing processes of the body restoring both physical and emotional well-being. It looked pretty relaxing. 

The Fair also had a few stalls of natural remedies, as well as other types of healing therapies.

It was a good day to learn a bit about the more spiritual side of healing and all the stall owners and the event runners were absolutely lovely and I am enjoying my new products.
