Family


Family, originally uploaded by Ben Goode.

We have come home. Things just didn't work out in Northern Ireland. It's a long story I will not bore you all with. Unfortunately the change in accommodation meant we were not as welcome as had previously hoped.

With the prospect of no roof over our head and my work not yet confirmed, we decided to head back to England.

The day we returned I had an email confirming my work. I would have been based in Ballymena, about 45 minutes from Belfast and a lot more rural. We may have been able to hang on a few more days and move that way, but in hindsight we would have been quite isolated and lonely without our family and friends just down the road. Sometimes you have to loose something to realise what you had.

Yesterday afternoon Jen, Micah and I went for a Winters afternoon walk with my Brother, Sister, Brother-in-Law and Niece to the Southampton Common. It felt good to be home. The picture above is of my Sister yesterday on the walk.

Beautiful shot Ben, Sad story but you are right in what you say, "Sometimes you have to loose something to realise what you had".

I'm glad i've got my friend back, look forward to seeing you soon.
