So, it's been a while everyone.
I've been working away from home a lot for the last ten months in order to keep my job with my employer and then my Dad died suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of May so things have been quite difficult really.
However at last there is a ray of light.
I have been offered a new job with a large international company which means that my family and I can finally put the last year of uncertainty and anxiety about the future behind us.
