Hey stevegoulden,
It appears that, after returning home after holiday, the fans on your iMac started up immediately and haven't stopped since. Good job on restarting, and we're glad to provide assistance.

Reset the SMC as den.thed suggests, however do this 2-3 times as it does not always work the first time.
