You're not his other girlfriend, are you? Hahahaha! Hmm, he knows a ridiculous amount of people....where were you when you were in England?

I study in Brummie land!!! I have travelled a little in England as well... not to Yorkshire though

Okay, so I know I had requested this story and then I read it and didn't comment.........but it's a fantastic story Rose!!! So excited for you

Well, he is from Cambridge originally, though doubt you bumped into him travelling...

Slightly off-topic... but how common is homeschooling in England? I thought it was very uncommon...

It's getting a lot more popular! I don't think it has quite the status it has in America, but it has grown massively in the last few years. When I was first home-schooled, it was still quite a weird thing to do, but by the time my younger sister was of secondary school age she had several friends locally who were also home-schooled. At the dancing school she was at, there were about 5 home-school families.

The interesting thing is that the stereotypes of English and American home-school families are totally different. The popular imagination seems to see American ones as being ultra-conservative, Bible belt type families; while the English ones as seen as being hippies and probably pagan. I don't know how that came about!
