It is a lot easier in English but……..
Self Isolation
Got myself a continuous cough and according to the NHS i am now required to self isolate. Better safe than sorry i guess. Now I have to do a covid test that I am very much not looking forward to. Uncomfortable but if everyone understands maybe we can mitigate the worst that is still to come.

Organic
We are not farmers by any stretch of the imagination. Nor are we strictly organic. But I am constantly reminded of the practical necessity of growing organic produce as we browse the local market where all the vegetables look crisp and perfect.
Sixth form in the UK
Like most things in the UK the schooling system is supposed to be very organised, if not regimented. Which is a bit intimating if you do not fit strictly within the parameters they work to.
Jono was seventeen without GCSE. Eventually we got him into a course for repeat students at Chichester College which is graded as Outstanding. But a year later I do have many questions. Not just about Chichester College, or the grading system, its the system.
Fortunately we ended getting locked down due to the coronavirus pandemic and he managed to scrape through with straight fours and a single five.
Ants
You can’t.
The long and the short of it. The best you can hope for is to manageb the problem.

Moving to the UK
My Dad has been working in the UK for the last eighteen months.
UK spousal visa
Not one of the easiest thing I have ever done. In fact applying for a spousal visa for the UK has to be one of the most stressful thing I have ever attempted.
In part due to the hefty price tag that comes with it.
It is costing us two thousand pounds each for my wife and two boys plus a further two thousand each for the Immigration Health Surcharge.
