My summer is going to be very special this year
starting with my daughter’s graduation and ending with my son’s wedding. My mum
is with me again, like last summer, and will have an operation (a shoulder
replacement) in Woking, which will make her unable to move her right arm for a
while. She will probably stay with us till autumn.
I am also starting a new exciting project, a PhD at
the University of Reading on Margaret Atwood, following my passion for the
superb Canadian writer and for female writing in general. I have an incredible
team of scholars to support my research, of which I am glad and grateful. This
will be another turn in my life where my day-by-day job will become marginal
while my studies and writings will be central. Hopefully my career will develop
as well.
We are also celebrating our tenth year in the UK
this summer. We moved to the North West of England (Lancaster) in summer 2007,
became British citizens in 2014 and moved to Surrey in summer 2015. I must say
we’ve had a wonderful time so far in this country, my children had great
achievements and made good friends, and my husband and I could develop our
careers. So, a big thank you to UK for giving us good opportunities and such a
quality of life.
All news, reviews of my readings and new recipes
will be on my blog from September.
Have a good summer.
