Hey there, Thanksgiving Monday!

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. I haven't been with family for Thanksgiving turkey in two years, so I'm looking forward to this! My favourite part is the stuffing and cranberries. I had some leftover fresh cranberries from the Cranberry Orange Loaf and Cranberry and Mint Scones I made earlier in the week, that I made some fresh cranberry sauce. But honestly, I love the stuff from the can (especially when it still has the weird can shape to it. True story).  
I found it difficult celebrating Thanksgiving in England. The first year was nice when I got 2 invites to Orphan Turkey Dinners (the guests, not the turkeys), the 2nd year I thought it was no big deal to just kind of skip the whole thing, but when my FB blew up with Thanksgiving comments, pictures, and wishes, I got a little peoplesick.
I don't know where I will find myself in the future, so I'm going to savour this weekend and every juicy morsel of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. Hope you all have a great one! Here's to THANKSGIVING MONDAY!

Peoplesick

home·sick 

/ˈhōmˌsik/

Adjective Experiencing a longing for one's home during a period of absence from it.

Synonyms nostalgic

I've been living in England for 10 months now and I still find that I'm not so much homesick. I don't really miss my hometown or familiar landmarks or even miss my parents house. But I do find that I'm peoplesick, if that's even a thing. I terribly miss my family and friends and the face of my sweet little B. 

My parents are currently in Vermont doing the annual cottage rental with the extended family and I'm missing out on it for the first time in a very long time. I'm loving my summer in London and determined to not let it slip by from wallowing, but I'm peoplesick something fierce.

How do you deal with homesickness or peoplesickness, when you’re away for extended periods?

Fun travels!
