I’ve been home now for just over a month and to be honest it’s been more difficult than I was expecting. A lot seems to have changed since I began this adventure. I still feel a bit disconnected from my family who’ve all got on with their lives while I was away. This is to […]

I’ve been ruminating over this post for the past couple of months and planned to use the end of the year as a deadline but it’s come and gone and I’m still trying to distil my thoughts and put words around them. I’m not sure if I’ve reached any conclusions but I think I’m getting […]
