Something not naff.

I heard from mi'Mam today. got an email from NZ finally!

It's nice to hear how things are going, and it's nice for me to feel that way about it. I'm going to email her back tonight before I get down to work. I can't wait until I get to go out and visit.

Mam moved out to New Zealand with her husband Neil in January to an area called Thames, it's north island at the south end of the Coromandel Peninsula, east of Auckland. Mam was telling me that they live within walking distance of some of the best beaches on the north island, and it's a surfer's haven. I'm hoping to spend some time there in Winter this year.

Let me tell you, the fact that my mum lives on the opposite corner of the globe to me isn't the strangest part of this whole affair, it's the fact that I'm not feeling angry, I'm not mad at her anymore. This Christmas, before she moved to NZ, a lot of things were worked out between me and Mam and I'm glad it happened when it did.

Hallelujah.
