    I’ve been thinking of you all afternoon but I’m not worried, I know it’s going great
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Ok... you were all right. Abbie seemed to take to me straight away. In fact, had hugs from her! Thomas was a bit more wary but warmed to me more once we were back. J has just taken them to her.

    Will you start believing us now????? So, did you like them?
    So when are you seeing them again? Did you take them anything in the end?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I thought they were lovely! Not sure when I'm seeing them again, hopefully before Christmas. I didn't take them anything in the end.

    I'm glad you've met them - definitely see them again before Christmas! Take them out to see the lights on the houses or something and then back for a hot chocolate! Magic

    We watched A Muppet's Christmas Carol and A made me sit next to her. We went to the Christmas light switch on at the village pond and A chose to hold my hand and for me to carry her at one point so she could see. T disappeared upstairs when we got back and J told him he couldn't stay up there all night as it was rude. I just asked him questions about what books he liked reading and talked about Man Utd and within a short space of time he was showing me things and asking me things. It really was lovely. I feel so at home in the village and I love the children, I think they're awesome

    Sounds like you fit in straight away

    I am so happy you had this experience with the children. I know we all said that it would go well. But that does not take away the anxiousness and stress as good as A holding your hand.

    You deserve all of this.
