So we made a really big decision. We decided that after building a little nest in Scotland we would make a change and move to Norway. So we packed up our life and moved it to the land of the vikings.

Things started well then like everywhere else in the world Coronavirus came. As a nurse who worked with elderly people before leaving Scotland I felt helpless. I chatted to my friends and family who where all key workers. They are all basically super hero’s. Some even having to stay apart from there own children.

Everyone has had different impacts on there life because of this pandemic. For me I was very fortunate. I lived in a country where cases are lower. We had to adapt a little but not much at all. Meanwhile in Scotland the people who I cared for and nursed where fighting for there life’s in the extraordinary care of the care staff .

If ever I forgot I had guardian angel’s looking after me. This gave me a good kick up the bum to remind me. The pandemic is far from over but things are returning to the new normal (what ever that is). I just remember one thing that a friend said to me during thus time that really got me thinking. She said she had really struggled in lock down being so isolated however her partner had not in fact he said to her that he had enjoyed it and she said to him that he was wrong to feel that way that it made her sad to know he preferred to be isolated. I thought about myself and I laughed a little. I have always struggled socially and have often felt extremely isolated in a room of people. Alone not so much as i always have my imagination to keep me company.

So we have started a new chapter. The first few pages have turned out somewhat different from I imagined however I have learned some stuff and also watched a lot of Netflix 😀
