Hi Nadia,

You will never guess who is asleep in the old box room tonight! After five years of teaching English in a small town near Osaka, our Mara flew back last week and broke the news that she has come home for good. Needless to say, the house has not been this noisy since the children were little, and she is over the moon to be sleeping under her own roof again. Sean and I still cannot quite believe she is sitting at the kitchen table each morning rather than a text message away.
