A walk down Rose Lane

Paige Update!

I have been back at Rathmore since the 31st of May and I am happy to be home. I got my tea and my bed.  I really enjoyed Spain and this was fully due to Jess. We had our highs and we had our lows. I won't give away too many details as there are plenty of posts coming from my Spain trip. You may have seen some Barcelona posts already slipping amongst my Topdeck tour posts. There are a few Berlin posts in the works then Amsterdam, Brugge, London possibly and more Liverpool. I'm going to try and post more about how I am currently doing.

I know quite a few of my family and friends read through my posts or at least look at the pretty pictures and that means a lot to me. Thank you to all those who read it and watch for my posts. It makes me so happy.

Well anyways, back in Liverpool. I've sent some postcards out to my postcard pals and restocked my cupboards with foodstuffs. A girl has to eat.

Just before I left for Spain I had walked on a very long journey to the Jobcentre Plus in Toxteth to get them to stamp a copy of my passport so I could mail away my application for my National Insurance Number. I need this number so I can be employed. So far playing the waiting game on the mail man for my processed application.

I managed to hang the bird garland that I got in Milan with Marianna and Maria Carla. It's so beautiful. I was worried I would ruin it but it looks pretty good. A little uneven but might try and fix that later.

 I added the photos I received from my mother in her care package to me to my fireplace mantle. 3 postcards from Powell River, a photo of my mother, sister and I. A beautiful drawing by my cousin Lily and a bracelet her brother Jackson made me.  I also got a delayed Christmas card. It all made me so happy to get it. Now I can look at my mother and sister smiling at me when I pass.

Happy Paige. I hope everyone else is happy and well.

Rathmore

I've officially moved into my new house in Liverpool. The house is in Mossley Hill which is a lovely place surrounded by lots of parks. Penny Lane is very close to where I now call home.  I signed the lease today with the landlord's agent Bryan but I spent my first full night last night. The first thing I did when I arrived was dump my backpack and head to the nearest Tesco to get bedding before they closed. 

I returned home and made my bed which made me very happy before unpacking further. After emptying my backpack, I happily tucked it away into the closet promising that it would come out soon when I head to Spain with Jess. 

Once I was done I found the directions on how to walk to the Brookhouse and walked there happily in the sunshine exploring my new neighbourhood. I arrived halfway through the Sunderland vs Cardiff match and ordered a Rekorderlig Strawberry-Lime Cider and managed to find a seat which was lucky as the place was soon filling up with people wanting to watch the Liverpool vs Chelsea match that was coming on next. The last time I had gone to the Brookhouse, it had been with Jamie and I wished that she was there with me.

After the match, which I will not mention further I walked back the way I had come but stopped at the smaller Tesco by my house. Purchasing a few staples to have dinner and breakfast. I was able to skype with Shawn and Jordan that night which made me incredibly happy. I went to bed feeling relief.
