"I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, dont think
You knew you were in this song
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk"
Oh how I love that Bowie song!
Five Years ago today, Ben and I arrived at Heathrow Airport to start our new life here in Britain. It's really cliche to say "It seems like just yesterday" - for me, it seems like it's been five years.
The last couple of weeks I've been feeling a bit homesick. I think because Ben and I were both working over Easter weekend and James was with a babysitter. I wished I was going to have lunch at my parents' house.
Living here in Britain has been great, though. I feel really lucky that we have good jobs and James is lovely, and we have a house. I wouldn't change that for the world!
