Trapped!

I have come to a realisation that I am trapped in England. The Home Office has my passport and have had it for 1.5 months whilst processing VeggieHubby's visa. I don't know when I will get it back, it could be up to 6 months and we are not allowed to contact them. I want VH to get his visa more, but also I want my passport back! Even my dog Sky has a pet passport and can travel. Friends and colleagues seem to be making quick winter escapes, and I'd love to do that too. I just don't want to be trapped here for Christmas when I thought it would be the first Christmas I would spend with my family (who I haven't seen for nearly a year) since I got married.

Not only I am trapped in my country, I am also trapped because of the heavy wind and rain currently battering the south of England. It just makes me want to stay indoors. Having said that it is a good weekend for this severe weather; because it is the first in over a month where I had no real plans. There is also something quite nice and cosy about staying inside while it is raining outside - so I will make the best of my weekend in with my friends the X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing.
