Course begins!

Well we arrived in London on Monday afternoon and we had a nice jaunt down to Oxford Street, so to soak up the atmosphere. Had lovely tea and cake in John Lewis, which was scrummy.

Both of us are feeling excited and a little anxious about the unknown but not really very nervous. We know this is the next step in our journey...

The course began yesterday morning and the first hour or so is always difficult with a room full of strangers, but we soon relaxed and things began to flow well. It was so interesting. Discussing 'Identity' and how it shapes us for the rest of our lives. We also had a video to watch on a guy in his 40's who had been searching for his identity after leaving Barnardo's and having a hard life. In the afternoon we did a case study and it got us thinking about attachment and loss.

On the whole, everything has been very well organised and the main lady running the course is an inspiration. She is really, really good.

More follows soon!
