Stoat - Where?

Well, having seen Mum and Jan off at the train station this morning, I’m now back to normality. Having had them both here was really great, but quite stressful. Not for arguments or anything, but just having to be responsible (maybe for the first time in my life!) for other people, especially as there was only a limited time for them to see Japan. It’s nice to be back in a position where if I screw something up, it’ll only affect me!

I’m pretty lucky to be living close to the site of the 2005 World Expo in Aichi Prefecture. Expos don’t happen very often and are usually thousands of miles away, so to have one an hour away by train is a treat. All reports back from people who’ve been said that it was well worth a visit, so I decided that the last full day Mum and Jan were here, we could make the trip and see what it had to offer. In fact, I was able to get discounted tickets a long time ago and they’d been sitting in my house a long time, so it was nice to finally get a chance to use them.
