"How do you mend a broken heart?"

I feel pretty crushed over the split from Robert. We had become part of each other's lives over the last year but sadly we could not work out the problems that overshadowed an otherwise loving relationship. C'est la vie.

And 'la vie' goes on.

For myself I knew that some decisions needed to be made.

First: I decided that I want to stay in England. No more 'escape' dreaming of Canada. I had already come to this conclusion because of Robert, but even now I still feel that it is the right decision. It's very strange actually, but whatever it was that I felt about living in Vancouver - it's gone. And I feel a lot more settled within as a result.

Secondly: Although I really liked Godalming I never truly felt at home there. So I decided to move back to where 'home' is for me in London: Richmond. Found a lovely & very cosy flat opposite the road where I spent my first 6 years in England with Colin! The area has developed into a lively and charming neighbourhood and I just love being back there. But most of all I am much closer to my friends which makes all the difference.
