So, it's been too long since I updated you guys on what's happening. Here goes, I will try and remember the best I can. On Wednesday 11th June- I travelled back from Berwick as much as I didn't want to get back into London life. That morning I received a call from my agency saying they had a position available for me to start on Friday so after that I was a little more willing to head back because I could see the dollar signs in my eyes. At 11:20am jumped in th...

Tuesday 10th June, 2008 - Berwick & Scotland Today is my last full day here at Berwick. Yesterday Joe brought a camera for Skype so we spent an hour talking to Mum & Dad. Jean was telling them how horrible I have been since I arrived. We headed north in the car today up to Scotland. It a bit disappointing to cross a country border and not to get the passport checked or stamped. The country side was the same as I expected. We stopped at Eyemouth 10 minut...

Monday 9th June, 2008 I was booked on a bus to go back to London today but changed day to wednesday as a like it too much here. Jean & Joe were more happy to keep me here for as long as i liked.

Sunday 8th June, 2008 Waking to another beautiful day in Berwick Jean, Joe & Me pilled into the car and headed for Holy Island.

Jean used to work on the island for 8 years so she was my personal tour guide today. On the beach front was Lindisfarne Castle, impressively built onto cliff top, an old Priory, well half an Priory...

Saturday 7th June, 2008 Today was family meeting day. We drove to Sunderland about 1 1/2 hours from Berwick and had a sight see on the way. We got lost even though Jean grew up there so many things had changed she didn't know where to go anymore. I got to see the house where Mardi (My grandmother) grew up and church where my Great Grandfather worked. I meet Jeans Sister Sheila and we all went to Lunch in a cute little garden shop looking out into green grass a...
