Spoons!

On Wednesday night, I was able to sit in Wetherspoons, 'Spoons,' as they call it in Pompey and have a few drinks with family and friends. This is the first time I have been able to sit and relax, forgetting about the harsh realities of life, for just a few hours. I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we had a super time and plenty of laughs; just what the Doctor ordered.

It was lovely to see my mate Nathan again, who has been keeping me company while I am here. To be perfectly honest, he has been a great source of support at a difficult time, for no other reason, than just being himself, making me feel happy and of course welcoming me back to the UK. I am lucky to have him as a friend and to finally be around people I trust and care about; not just Nathan, but many others as well. Britain is starting to feel like home again, rightly or wrongly. I say that because Spain is of course where I am resident, the UK is no longer where I live. However I've missed the interaction with family and loved ones; I don't have this connection in Alicante and my life is all the poorer for it!
