Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, rainy and overcast. One more chapter of my visits, journeys, trips, etc, reminiscing on the past. Today I went with my mother to Bewdley, a beautiful rural village about 15 miles from where my mother lives. My mother lives in a very privileged part of England, 20 miles from Birmingham, the second largest city […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, rainy and with flashes of the sun trying to appear. There are five or six days until Christmas, depending on how you look at it. In Brazil, we celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve at midnight. In England, we officially celebrate on the 25th with lunch. I have always felt that Christmas in Brazil is […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 10 degrees, cold, grey and rainy. It is one week before Christmas, and I am beginning to wind down. The truth is that classes have been slower than usual since the beginning of December, but now they are even slower, and I am uncertain whether I like it or not. My lazy side likes it, but my […]
It is cold; the day feels like night due to the darkness, and it seems to be trying to rain. Although it is not raining yet, it is attempting to. I was going to walk along the cut- the canal until I reached a place where I used to work for a man when I was 10 or 11 years […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 9 degrees, a little cold, overcast and sunny at the same time. It is Saturday, and it is a little cold in England and very cold if it were for Rio. I woke up a little late today, and I’m feeling a little lazy again. I want to go and feed the ducks and swans along the […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 3 degrees, very cold, overcast, and almost rainy. When I decided to come to England to spend time with my mother, I never saw it as a holiday. It was more of a necessity to resolve family problems and see if my mother was OK. My perspective on this visit has changed; it is now more of […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. Today was another day of visiting places from the past, either from my childhood or adolescence. Even though it was bitterly cold, I decided to go out and walk, walk, and walk. I fed them, my friends, the swans and ducks along the canal. Then I found myself walking toward my […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I have been in England for 19 days now, and I’m having a whale of a time. Not a good time as in partying and going out every night, but a whale of a time in respect to being able to do all the things I had come to England to […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 8 degrees, cold, overcast, and rainy. I will be officially on holiday in a week and a half until the new year. I was going to go to Sheffield this coming weekend to visit my brother and his family, but after talking to my mother, I think it would be better to go for the new year. […]
Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 7 degrees, cold, cloudy, and rainy. I have been in England for a little over two weeks now, and I am visiting places that are stuck in my memories from childhood and adolescence. Yesterday, I went to Mary Stevens Park and the house I shared when I was beginning my professional life and living alone. Today, I […]
