So….I blinked and now my little one turned 16yo and is heading to a 2 year prep school in the UK. So many emotions. Tough to reconcile that my little mudskipper is leaving home. This was her just a minute ago…
In less than a month, I am flying out to the UK and then to Wales to drop her off here:

She applied over this past winter, made it through a tough selection process which included multiple interview rounds and a two day onsite with the selection committee……and was selected. One of only 2 American kids who got in.
(Compartmentalizing all the things I’m feeling about my baby leaving home and being 1/2 a work away for next two years which will be followed by being away from me for at least another four for university undergrad …..) after I drop her off I am scheduled to be in wales and/or England for another 4 days.
I could just mope around and feel sorry for myself, OR I could try to fish a bit. Does anyone have any fishing advice for Wales, or for the Bath/Cotswolds area (which is on way back from Wales to London area)? Appreciate any intel.
