I was up in North London with Jack a few weeks ago and at the end of a long day, we went over to the home of some friends for supper. They live ever so close to the location I was attacked a whole seven years ago.
We ended up going for a walk…and although we did not pass the exact place, I still felt pins and needles all over my skin, a deeply unpleasant disturbance within that made me want to escape that park.
I was so glad to be with Jack that night.

That’s pretty impressive that you went on that difficult walk rather than avoiding it.

I have been there before Ashley, but normally I have more control over the situation and more time to mentally prepare. This time, it was all a bit spontaneous, and I have been very stretched for time recently and tired due to my hectic schedule – so I found I was quite raw and wobbly about being there when I was not expecting to. This time of year…well, it’s all swimming around my mind.

Without proper time to prepare that experience would be seriously challenging. Sending you hugs.
