Well here I am back in the UK. It has been a strange start to 2011 it has been. New Year’s Eve seems like a year ago in all honesty and the reason for this has been evident in my last few blog entries. The lasts update on this is that it appears my parents maybe aiming at some sort of reconciliation which, well I don’t know if I even have the time to think about that right now.

I had many highs, and suffered many lows let like the city itself there is a certain element of resilience that I follow in life.
