Earlier today I found out that my visa application was successful, which means I get to stay in the UK for at least a little while longer. The timing was perfect, as I’d baked bread & butter pudding the night before and brought it into work. As soon as I read the email, I shared a high-five with Mike and rushed to the kitchen to serve the pudding. I got a bit of a cheer from everyone, both for the pudding and the visa news, but mostly the pudding. Having been with Agency Republic for almost 2 years now, they’re my family away from home. And I can’t think of better company to share some good old-fashioned bread pudding (how very English!) with, than my fellow Republicans.

On a side note, I’ve been very busy moving flats, sorting out new house bills and accounts and work visas, I’ll start posting more regularly once I get the internet set up at the new flat over the weekend.
