First Week

Well it’s been just over a week since I landed. I would love to say it’s been an adventure Bear Grylls style but it hasn’t. So far I am enjoying it but this week has consisted of settling in, of working out dress codes of some sort and for dealing with the right of passage of new shoes -BLISTERS – that make me look funnier than normal when I’m walking. My cousins, Tina, Norman, Christal and Nick have been a huge support. Tina and Norman have had to put up with the tears on Thursday that eventually hit after a week of trying to navigate a new way of life. I have been informed that is normal and it’ll probably won’t be the last, and knowing me that is true.

My two very special cousins on the way to church first Sunday.

Work is going well. The children are lovely and I have been blessed with a wonderful boss who is kind and willing to do anything to help me settle in. Ann-Marie knows the children and the culture in-depth and has an ability to pass on her wisdom that I know I will be always learning.

The commute to work is easy and the MTR is so simple to navigate. A lot like the underground in London just cleaner and above ground most of the time.

I’ve managed to go to church each Sunday. The first was a non denomination and this Sunday an Anglican. Both good though I will try others to get a better feel.

Until Friday. I hope you all have a good week and that life is treating you well. XxOutside work.
