Its been a really nice, if slightly grown up, Christmas.

Visiting my Dad was great… days spent being lazy doing not all that much, hanging out and eating nice food. Lots of wii playing, and quite a bit of messing around playing SimCity on my  Iphone… just relaxing.

The majority of my holiday has been spent in Cambridge. Lots of quality time with family, seeing my mum, sister, granddad and lots of friends. This also included the usual day our with my older nieces and nephews which was typically brilliant.

I spent new years eve with Dave, Shena and Max; a night full of laughs, memories, a curry and the next day spent watching tv, and causing havoc with their 4 year old son (woohoo, lego!). There is so much more too… seeing other friends I don’t see often, trying out a new Cambridge church as well.

It ends up feeling like I’m a different person here; no longer the youthworker (which takes the primary role in Scotland), but the son, uncle, brother and friend. I like those roles. I miss those roles.

Does that matter? Can I fit them in to the weeks I visit? Do I want to, and should I?

Not sure… but somehow I feel that things have just got to become a bit more ‘integrated’. But, what does that look like?

Where I’ve Been…
