Perri and Penny pelican have also arrived back from their summer vacation and will as usual be wintering here in sunny West Palm Beach.

I’m recovering nicely from my hip surgery and so enjoying being back home again after a very eventful trip to South Africa to see family and friends.
Wishing you all a splendid weekend.
I’m glad all is fine with you, Sylvia. I have been a bit out of the loop recently with the busy holiday season here in Sedgefield.
Holy Cheeseballs! Surgery! Iβm glad youβre doing well and that recovery is going smoothly. Sending you good vibes and strength π
Thanks so much, TG. Hanging in there. πͺ
What a welcome home! Hope you are well in the way to recovering now and best wishes for the year ahead! π
Thanks so much, Emma.
Wish you a wonderful and happy 2022
Thank you so much, Marylou.
I hope your road to recovery is complete and you are doing well/better. Happy New Year, and good to see wildlife in your neck of the woods again.
Thank you so much. Yes, I’m recovered now and almost back to normal, whatever “normal” is. π Hugs and best wishes to you for the New Year. xxx
I wanted to stop back by and say that I hope the two of you are having a wonderful Christmas Day,

Lovely to hear you are recovering well from your surgery, Sylvia. Sending you well wishes. Looks like the pelicans are at home in the sun this winter. Wonderful. May there be more sunny days this winter for you. Have a wonderful holiday season πβ€
Thanks so much, Mabel. The sun is shining at the moment but I think the pelis have gone out on a breakfast fishing expedition. They are nowhere to be seen. π
It is good to know that you arrived home safely, I was hoping that you wouldn’t have any trouble getting back. Happy that the surgery was a success and now you will be able to enjoy life more.
Thanks so much, Karen. xxx
welcome home, Sylvia. happy to hear that you’re coming along very well!π
Thanks so much, Lola. Yes, I’m doing just fine. xxx
Welcome home Sylvia! Glad you are recovering well from your hip operation.
Thanks, Aletta. I’m getting there. π

they are so wonderful!
Thanks, Lisa. I love watching them.
Good to see you back and enjoying your Pelis. It’s also good to hear that the surgery and the trip went well! You were missed.
Thanks, Gunta. I’m so glad to be back home again.
From the glimpses I’ve seen, it sure looks like a slice of heaven… did your Pelis and other friends miss you? π₯°
Welcome home Sylvia. So glad to hear you are recovering well. Iβm guessing the βeventfulβ trip was not all positive. Take care friend.
I am happy to hear you are recovering nicely from your hip surgery and to be back home. That is wonderful. At the same time, I am sort of envy Perri and Penny for having a nice winter time in sunny West Palm Beach π
Thanks, YC. Yes, they have chosen well for their winter vacation. π
I was pleased to see your email today, as I wondered how your op and also your family holiday had been β¦.. lovely that you were able to do everything youβd planned.
Nothing quite like your own bed after travelling, especially plane flights!
Thanks, Gerrie. I so agree with you. What a relief it was to be back home again.
I’m pleased you are recovering well
Thanks, Derrick.
Good to hear you returned home safe and recovering nicely. hugs, Eddie
Thanks, Eddie.
You’re very welcome Sylvia
Good to see you back, Sylvia! The pelicans are beautiful.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Welcome back and great to hear you’re recovering nicely! Love the Pelis!
Happy weekend! π€ππ
Thanks so much, dear Marina. π

Do take it easy and enjoy your wildlife around you. Hugs Ute β₯β₯β₯
Thanks, dear Ute. Itβs great to be back here. π
Excellent news all the way around. Glad to have you back stateside.
Thanks, Nancy.
The same to you! Good to hear that you are doing well after your surgery and I bet itβs great to be home again. π
Thanks, Lynette. You have no idea just how great it is to be back home again. Now, I can relax and recover properly.
Welcome back. I’m happy to read that you’re recovering nicely and I know you had a wonderful time. Nice of the Pelis to join in welcoming you home as well. π

Thanks, Janet. To be honest, I’ve had much more wonderful holidays with no surgery. π I’m so happy to see the Pelis again.
But you’ll be glad you had that surgery done, so look forward to that. β€
I’m happy you recovered well from your surgery, Sylvia. That’s wonderful news.
Thanks, Jill. xxx
So good to hear that you are home safely and the recovery is going well. Now you can recuperate in peace at home.
Thanks, Jude. No place like home, is there?
No place like your own bed! And pillows!
Definitely so, Jude. I really missed my pillows.
I have been thinking of you this week and wondering where you were. So pleased to know you’re home again. Good to hear your recovery is going well.
Thanks so much, Carol. π
Sounds like you got back just in time too. π
Thanks, Sue. Yes, we did, although at Newark airport where we landed, they didn’t even check our negative COVID tests, or our vaccine certificates. Far too busy. South Africa was quite the opposite.
Good grief!
Good to know, Ad! Dancing again by Christmas?
Thanks, Jo. Hopefully. π―ββοΈπ

Welcome home, Sylvia! What an adventure you had on the other side of the world. It is good to know that you have met up with the Pelis duo. What better place for Perri and Penny to spend winter than with you and Chris!! You live in a paradise!!
Thanks, Rebecca. Well, it was an adventure I wouldn’t want to repeat, apart from the fact that we did see dear family. It is however, so good to be home again.
I am so glad that you are home, safe and sound! Yes what an adventure you had!
