Home- I wrote this ages ago and didnt post it. More soon.

Yes, I know about time this was updated. But here I am back at last. So I last posted in March. Lots of time has past with lots of memories and funny stuff which will probably go unblogged. However I am now up at camp for the summer sitting in my very own trailer office in the forest! It’s great to be back up here, to see people I have not seen in a while and to meet lots of new staff. A fair few from the N. Irish shores which is nice. I’m still settling and readjusting from my trip home. I got back on Monday past. It was a great time at home, felt like I was home a lot longer than I was. It’s a true blessing to come home and feel like I had never left and be able to just pick up friendships where they left off regardless of how much contact there was during the year. My time was mainly spent catch up with friends and family, a wee trip up to the north coast and Dave and Jens wedding. I have to say Northern Ireland is definitely still home. Work has got a lot better, my boss has left and her replacement starts on Friday. He is a guy called Brian and he worked at Muskoka Woods a number of years ago, he has a real vision and passion for the job and I’m excited to work with and for him. I think my job will actually start with him, I’m looking forward to getting my teeth stuck in with some encouragement and direction. Home life is good, still getting on the best with the family I’m staying with. Although will well and truly miss my room and bathroom for the summer. Lisa and the kids are here for the summer as well. It will be nice to still have them about. I’m living with a couple of girls Kate and Rose, from the office. However currently we don’t have a door for our room, just a shower curtain! Hopefully that situation will be rectified soon. We have a sweet balcony with a lake view so really can’t complain. There are only 8 of us living there as opposed to the house I was in last year where they packed 24 of us in! Oh the blessings of being on full time staff.

Here’s to taking the dogs to the lake with Claire and Emma, eating at the Ramore winebar, driving mums new car, lots of home cooked food, “dwarfs would need to own this car… ACTUAL dwarfs!”, finding my flip flips, bug bites, Molly asking where I was all the time when I was in N.I and then went I got back ignoring me, Tim Horton turkey and bacon sandwich and to summer weather.
