Today ends my Mum's month long visit to England. The last time my mum was in the UK was back in 1994, alot has changed since then... the weather for one. Who knew England is capable of so much sunshine?! Me and mum traveled to lots of places, mainly to visit all my schools and see where I had been for the last 13 years. It was an emotional journey for both of us... my mum can finally catch up with parts of my childhood that she missed, see what environment has shaped her daughter, and I can finally walk round the schools with my mum. It was weird to see those places still there and functioning, without me knowing or being there. The images of the schools in my head from when I left were different to what I saw, though not completely, it still shocked me in some ways.

This summer marks the end of my formal education, and the beginning of real life. Who knows what it will bring? I am now looking for THE job that can help me become independent in every way. Tough tough.....fingers crossed!
