Home Sweet Home

I've been pondering recently why people are so attached to their homes. Sandie always said that my way of living that involves travelling with just a suitcase of clothes is not normal. I find she often has an "alternative" way of seeing things. With her being sick at the minute I've actually been working a lot more from home recently (although I am travelling to Hungary tonight and Zurich for 2 days next week). I have to say it's not unpleasant. So why do people like their homes so much - for me I suspect it's because it gives me a major point of reference and a sense of belonging - I've always said to Sandie that I feel like I'm a little butterfly stuck on the end of a piece of elastic that has one end firmly pinned down in the south west of France. Me, as a butterfly. I bet not many people have described me like that before.
