Had a ‘Keeping in Touch’ session at work today, which was very strange! Leigh’s parent came to look after Imogen as they live further away than mine so it’s nice for them to be able to come and spend some quality time with her. Luckily it was only a half day, so that made it easier to manage – although I have a full workshop day coming up! I really enjoyed catching up with what’s been happening and was feeling excited about the new challenges facing the team this year and looking forward to getting stuck in when I return to work. It’s really hard though to reconcile that with the fact it means I won’t be seeing Imogen for more than a couple of hours a day, four days a week. I guess you can’t prepare for that until it actually happens, but I do worry about it as I love being with her so much. I’m not planning to go back until late May, so hopefully by then I’ll be more used to the idea, although not sure you can ever be prepared!
