I did actually arrive...

I do sort of feel like I was sucked into a vortex once I i did though. A wash of old memories of having arrived here all those years ago for the first time. It's been so difficult to be without Sienna but also quite good as there is no way on earth I would have been able to flat hunt with her. The market is not very friendly right now and even after pushing back my work start date by a week to try and allow time to view more places... still no joy.

However on the most positive note ever... they finally approved Sienna's settlement visa. I was really begining to worry they wouldn't issue it and then I would be in a nightmare situation. But yesterday they gave me the good news which lightens my heart immensely. So within the next week or so she will be here with me! Lilli not for a few more months yet but we're getting there slowly!

I don't know really how on earth I ended up back here. I was a quick decision made during a very stressful time. All will seem a bit more focused once I am back in a flat that is ours.

I'm mastering the fine art of patience.

kind of...
