A day of meetings ....

A day of meetings, planning the next steps in I PACKED THIS MYSELF.
The third morning in a row that I've driven to Truro, Cornwall, first thing. Terrible traffic! Doing the commute every day must be a nightmare....
This time to a meeting with Helen Giblett, head of Archbishop Benson Primary School, to discuss possible workshops and a whole year of focus on migration at the school.  They're already thinking hard about welcoming newcomers - outsiders - people from overseas....


Then back to Camborne to meet Beata, a counsellor, in Costa. Beata is originally from Zielona Gora, which amazingly I happened to visit last summer when in the middle of World War One research.
A fascinating conversation.... all part of building a picture of what's needed and a team to roll it out.
