Springtime in England


Here is a picture of the lovely oilseed rape that grows all over the fields apparently normally in June but this year came early and has been growing all of May. I see all these fields on my drive to work every day. There is nice scenery the whole way to work which is good because there is a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes me an hour to get home. I have been getting used to a lot of changes recently, thus the recent silence on my blog. Sorry about that! I will try to continue to write more starting now. I have been adjusting to my new job which has made me utterly exhausted along with living in someone else's house which makes the entire week much more hectic in terms of schedules. The new job is different to say the least, but I am glad to be working again. I already have ideas of how to improve the whole job because I am disillusioned with the NHS system of providing speech therapy. I may end up working privately or in a special school in the long run just to be able to provide good services for kids. Other than that, the people I work with are nice, so that is good. i am doing lots of driving around though. That is nice but also means that it takes time out of my day and I can't do as much as I would like to considering the mountain of paperwork that goes along with seeing each kid. I can see the superiority of the US speech therapy services. Besides the job, Tim and I are also still working on moving out of the house as soon as we can. This is also another change we are trying to prepare for. In the meantime, I joined a new gym so that I can work out before or after work on the way to and from so that I can skip some of the traffic and get a work out too! Lots of changes are going on for us at the moment, so typical of spring on the whole. We are looking forward to moving out and visiting home soon!
