A cheeky grin

I've been neglectful of this blog, I know. My second last post was about half-term break and already we've arrived at end of term. All I can say is that life has been hectic (in a good way) and I just haven't had the time. I'm looking forward to these two weeks off to get some stuff done.

I finally met my mentee yesterday. R is an 11 year old boy with a cheeky grin and a sharp sense of humour. His confidence is low but he's sweet and full of energy, and likes a lot of the same things I do (like acting and art and sailing and rock climbing). I met mum too; a single mother with 6 kids. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be, but it's clear they have a good relationship.

This has been such a long time coming, I don't fully believe it's actually happening.
