Revisiting the past

This is the view from the front door of my old flat. I moved out just under a year ago and hadn't been back to the area until this afternoon.

It was a strange feeling driving along the road I used to drive up and down everyday. I looked up at my old flat and saw it has been covered in very bright wallpaper with huge flowers all over it. I wondered if the landlord managed to get the £400,000 he wanted for it in the end....

As I looked out over the water I thought about how much has changed in 11 months - there's so much! Two of my best friends have new little babies, another has got engaged, I've met some fantastic people, finally cured a broken heart, things have changed a lot in work and in the world.

It was a moment of reflection in this speed train of life. It's good to take stock every now and again - remind yourself of where you're at, where you've come from and have a good hard think about exactly where you're going.....
