It’s been pretty busy in this household for the last few days so I haven’t had much time to update this blog 
I’m currently preparing to go away for a week on my own this coming Saturday which is quite an unusual occurrence! First I’m going to attend an A215 Day School in Truro and it looks like at least half a dozen students will be going. So it will be nice to put faces to names 
Sadly I’ll to leave before the end because I have to catch a train …
Then I’m off to Birmingham to terrorise the local roads for five days as a nervous middle-aged female Learner Driver. In a way, I’m really glad that the A215 Day School is the first ‘event’ because I’m focussing on that and trying not to think about driving lessons for the rest of the week.
In the meantime there is so much to do. We’ve been writing lots of letters to various organisations in our search for a suitable adult placement for our twenty year old autistic daughter and juggling all the brochures, responses, printed webpages, notes and application forms has been quite a challenge. I think I’ve just about got it all sorted now … well, until the next avalanche arrives!
After we take her back to college after half term, we’ll be embarking on one of our usual whirlwind tours of the mainland – FIVE possible adult placement providers to visit, my sister and her family near Manchester, my Uncle and his wife near Salisbury, (both in their eighties now but pretty fit, healthy and active) and Mother-in-Law providing our central ‘leaping off’ point in Birmingham. Our last night, before we return to the islands, will be spent at an idyllic isolated country pub and restaurant in Cornwall as a special treat – they are renowned for their food. Looking forward to that …
