Summer has Finally Arrived.

After months of cold, wet and grey skies summer is finally here! At last! My uncertain mental state has not been helped by the cold.

You find me on a quiet Sunday morning listening to Handel's Julius Caesar and drinking iced water. Last week I had an awful cold but feeling much better now.

Despite feeling terrible I triumphed at work, lit up a huge room of some 80 teachers in a really high performing school with my workshop on self harm. I helped some young people. And got involved in getting experts by experience into roles in the Trust. 

As for my last post I did not walk away. I got pragmatic by adopting the difficult stance of just accepting the contact I have as a bonus and just work through the silence in between. 

Last weekend I had a visitor and we had a lovely time. Even walked through the woods to The Waggoners. The roast beef was sublime. 

Got a few plans in place for the next 6 weeks or so. Hope to see dad in Kent at the end of the month. My long awaited return to Cambridge is coming up in early July. Going to stay with Jayne and attend a reunion at King's. Then at the end of July I'm going to Beth's wedding in Kent. Must get my linen suit cleaned for that.

With I'll leave you from a position of relatively good mental health and the thought that I will cook roast turkey later.

I Heard a Voice.

    I'm glad you are feeling better.
    Handel and King's College Chapel... two of my most favorite things! As you probably remember, I am an American Anglophile. Have a smashing, jolly good time!
