Well – instead of playing yet another game of scramble on Facebook ( and who got me started on that I ask you!) I thought it might be time to explore this exciting new blog format. I’m still getting used to it but at least I’ve now worked out how to put a new post up.
I know it has been such a very long time since I last posted. I’m not sure exactly why except that I have been pretty busy. Ive taken on 5 new tutees since August – really good, but quite tiring getting to know so many new ones at once. I’m getting nice comments from parents about how much I’m helping though which is really great.
I’ve been rather at sixes and sevens this week and haven’t got as much done as I would have liked. Last Sunday my Aunt and I had arranged to go down to Cambridgshire to see my Granny. I stayed with my Aunt on Saturday night so we could get off early in the morning. At 7.00am though we got a phonecall to say that my Granny had died.
We still went down to Cambridgeshire and were able to spend some time with another Uncle and Aunt and my cousin and her little boy, so that at least was nice. It was a very long and emotionally draining day though. I reckon I’m only just beginning to feel more myself now. My Granny was 96 so it wasn’t exactly unexpected but it was still something of a shock. I found myself really wishing she had held on for another 24 hours till after our visit.
Anyway that’s my main bit of news for this week ( Sorry it’s not more cheerful). I have been reading quite a few blogs even though I’ve not been blogging myself for a bit. Hopefully I’ll be able to blog a bit more often.

I’m really sorry to hear this. Hugs xx
Great to hear from you again, and my condolences for the death of your granny: “May her memory be eternal!” as we Orthodox say.
God bless.
May she rest in peace.
I just came across your blog and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the information you have posted here. I have a site Guildford http://www.guildfordeye.com so I know what I’m talking about when I say your site is top-notch! Keep up the great work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here!
So sorry to hear your news. But how good that you were with your aunt, and not alone, when you heard it. My aunt died just three weeks before my son was born, and I was so disappointed that she didn’t live to be a great-aunt.
