Since the last post I have been very adventurous and I have been to the Yorkshire Dales and to the Lake District. The weather was atrocious on both of these weekends.The Lake district weekend 9th-11th of Febrauary was particularly difficult. On the way to the bunk house the minibus nearly crashed. It skidded on the ice and got bashed about a bit. It looked like it was going to tip over at one point (but luckily it didn't)! We had to wait for some very kind locals to give us lifts to the bunkhouse.We had an extremely wet and windy walk on saturday. On sunday most people were fed up so we went to Ambelside (near Lake Windermere) which is a nice little town and strolled about and went to the pub for a while. We had a lovely day, it reminded me of when I used to have days out with my parents when I was a child...sigh...
Still a bit depressed about my Grandad, but these things take time.Also my bedroom (at home) is being used as a storeroom for some of his things until they are moved on elsewhere. I was at home weekend before last and it was quite odd sleeping in a room with his stuff.
I'm going home this weekend again (because I just feel like it) so I'm going to have another odd couple of days.
I've been spending time with my Grandad's girlfriend (who is a very lovely woman) and it's really nice. It feels like I haven't quite lost as much as I thought I had. I'll have to go before I start getting really emotional and embarrasing myself at university. Lately my feelings have been a bit to close to the surface for my comfort and I need to be careful sometimes what I say in case I just start to cry or something embarrasing like that.
Anyway...Things are looking up after all.
