well heres a couple of shots of the home the family move into on the 28th of this month if all goes to plan. i honestly can't believe the luxury home coming up here, but i keep getting told its pretty normal over here, as they have so much more space than us etc... yeah right! still a mansion if you ask me. i just can't believe my nieces are going to grow up with a pool and sauna to hand!! its a joke. but i intend to make the most of it! currently thinking i'll move in myself just before we all go on holiday with mum and dad in mid august.
in the meantime life continues to be a little lonely and a little lacking in something. i still love time with the nieces, i'm happy enough at work who have asked me to stay on as long as i can, i love my temporary home with the 'best landlady in the whole world' cath and all her inspiring beauty around.. and i'm getting some more exercise in with plenty of walks to and runs back from work.. so its not all bad.
but bottom line is that i'm living a life pretty much completely the opposite of what i'm used to in brighton where my priority is normally all the lovely people i try and get time with, compared to here where the number of people i'm trying to spend time with is very small. its definitely a different life, and one that i wouldn't normally choose, but i'm sure its the right life for me at the moment. people do keep advising me to get out and about and get to know more people, do more stuff in my spare time etc.. but at the end of the day its pretty tricky to get about without a car, and my weekends are now the only time to see the family, and i only have a couple of months left here in total, so i don't think it will change much.
i feel bad for not loving this more, as i know it is such an opportunity, and if i compare my life here to the troubles of say, innocence, who i caught up with on the phone last week.. well i clearly should be loving all the good things in my life. i guess i'm just going to try and keep my eyes open to the beauty around and keep learning from all these different experiences and hope that i come out the other side full of amazement and gratitude for this stage in my life.
