There's nothing worse than a holiday hangover and it hits the moment you step off the plane back into the regularity of pre-holiday life which is nearly always a disappointment for the first few days. After my extended break it was bad coming from a sunny beach in the morning back to a grey and drizzly London so it helped to have such an excellent flatmate.

Tamsin wasn't in when I got home but she left me a welcome message.

Then she helped my jet lag with some seasoned traveller advice.

The best part for my transition back into home was a late birthday cake and present! Thanks Tamsin you're the best.
