Home is only an hour away on the train for me, and yet today felt like the end of a very long journey - the final stop on the long ride that has been the Lent term of 2008.

I hate these kind of days, as I don't like saying goodbye to people I don't want to see the back of just yet. It was for this reason that I left quietly and with minimal fuss - also, people were still in bed and waking them wouldn't be a great start to the holiday!

It's been nice to catch up with the parents again, and so far I'm only just settling in. My thoughts are with my brother at this time, he's on his Duke Of Edinburgh award trip for the weekend to come and the weather is dire. Snow, blizzards and hailstorms are battering the country - particularly the Pennines, where his trip has gone.

Barcelona's lovely this time of year. On that note, goodnight.
