I love the way we get to develop skills and confidence in our own sandpit and then transfer onto a larger stage / different place. I hope it is paid work! And I like the way your blog just keeps happening. Here it is, no pressure, and I can check it out. I love the family updates. Not just the kids growing up, but you and Mr 50 too. Many thanks, Gillian Hello, hello,

Congratulations on your blog at Psychology Today. I love the way we get to develop skills and confidence in our own sandpit and then transfer onto a larger stage / different place. I hope it is paid work!

And I like the way your blog just keeps happening. Here it is, no pressure, and I can check it out. I love the family updates. Not just the kids growing up, but you and Mr 50 too.

Many thanks,
Gillian

I remember the old one where your face is half-hidden behind a camera, but I never was any good at extrapolation. ;-) Memsahib, I have been away for some time, too, and for the purposes of a CDROM of my blog I have been working on, you don’t happen to have published a photo of yourself during my absence, I suppose?

The letting go must be so hard when the first one really flies away from the nest. I switched school at fifteen too, and never looked back, it was so much the right decision. I hope it works well for your daughter too. Good luck to you and all your children with all these firsts. The letting go must be so hard when the first one really flies away from the nest.

What a lot of firsts you've been having - some exciting, some scary ... all a good learning process! Best of luck to Hat in her exams - I'm sure she'll cruise through them and then you'll wonder what you were worrying about. The new blog sounds interesting - I'll have a look when I get a chance.

We exchanged brief e-mails, and you said you were thinking about this subject, the big D. I'm glad you're writing about it now. It's bold.
