I love weddings, I have been to some good ones, and some bad ones. I have even been to my own. This was the best.
Secondly; those of you who have followed my blog for a while will know of my desire to return to London. Today, my work confirmed that this will be happening some time during the summer. I don't know when exactly, and I haven't processed the news, so the sheer excitement and relief hasn't sunk in yet. But I'm going home. My life, on hold for the last few years, can begin again.
I would say I feel lucky. But I don't. After everything I've been put through, I bloody well deserve this.
