I guess I was in the wrong place at the right time, in that it triggered my desire to leave the US Though it was uncomfortable being brown-skinned in a white town at that time, I don't regret the experience, because as I said it triggered a move to a place in which I am happy and comfortable.

What a great way God has of turning evil to good. This has given me lots to ponder!

It's pretty, isn't it. We hav now built a 30 sq. metre conservatory at the back, which makes it sunnier!

I'm so sorry you felt you had to leave America. My husband and I have always loved people from Asia – my best friend in sixth form was Sri-Lankan, and at university some of my favourite people were from India, so warm-hearted and easy to get on with! I love your cottage, it looks idyllic. And I'm amazed that you're friends with Susan Wise Bauer – I frequently refer to her book, 'The Well-Trained Mind' for homeschooling!
