I have not been as active on writing up on this blog but am still befriending my Syrian Family. They are my adopted family in my heart forever..Bushra and her Daughters in Belgium, her Sister in Germany and her brother and mother in Turkey.
I have learned so much through our friendship and experienced much ...from sharing time in Eleonas camp Athens to going in parliament to be a voice for them and learn more about Syria. 
Bushra is doing well building up her beauty business, she not only has gained certificates in competency but now trains others. If you remember she was studying business management before life, dreams, ambition got interrupted by war.
The girls are doing well at school in Ostende and continue to be "professors of Linguistics" using Dutch Arabic English French Turkish German as they get more and more exposure to languages.
I have not visited Belgium since last March as I have had health issues under the care of Harefield hospital for Sleep Apnoeas and using CPAP Continous Positive Air Pressure on a night when sleeping and for any day time naps ... I have undergone cardiac and respiratory tests and all are fine. Now 6 months into CPAP support I feel my energy coming back, my muscles and joints improving.. My walking improved with also some very very comfy sketchers shoes my daughter and grandson got me.
So I hope to be able to visit Bushra again soon. I wish the present Chancellor would give me a 1954 born woman (as all WASPI women) our Ombudsman compensation ...this I could put to good use for travel.
I have also found a way round the brexit parcel issue as I can get gifts to the girls through Amazon Belgium .. I am sending educational books in Dutch ..English and French so they have their own bibliotheek.. 😊 Thank you dear followers of this blog for all your interest and support over the years. I will continue to update every now and again ..💞🌹
