This is a pretty boring photo to share with you, but this has been my desk for many years and today is my last day before I finish up for a year’s Maternity Leave.
I have mixed feelings about signing off this afternoon – I am physically ready to finish work as I have been finding it to be quite demanding in the later stages of my pregnancy. I will however, really miss my amazing colleagues and students. I will also miss actually going to work and feeling like I am contributing in other ways than being a full-time Mum.
When I had my Maternity Leave with Poppy, I didn’t appreciate just how many people come across your path in your normal work day until I didn’t have that exposure anymore.
I have really loved my job for the past ten years and am ready for the new addition of our family – sometimes I just find being a full-time Mum a little isolating. I’m sure I will man-up!
