Happy new year to everyone who reads this blog, as I don't believe I have said it yet. I hope that the year ahead brings joy and happiness to you all. I have been in touch with people back from home again today which was nice and I really enjoyed the chat.
Things here at the house are going good. Not a great deal going on, simply taking a break for the start of the new year whilst I still have the opportunity. I am sure things will pick up soon and so I'm taking advantage of the time I have to let my mind be at peace.

I'm feeling good today for some reason, really alive.My adreneline wont stop running and I'm happy. I got a call from my old neighbour on Christmas day which was nice and she let me know that people were thinking about me of whom I thought didn't really care. Since then I have been sending lots of emails out to those people.
Oh yea - and I got a hamster, its' name is 'Strike', a panda hamster and just a baby. It's really cute. I fell in love with it at the store. He he! In a few days I'll put a picture of it up here.

The dog is doing well, especially now that we have a zipline up for her, she is really happy. A very smart dog, as most German Shephards are but for some reason she is shedding, despite it being December. We haven't put a Christmas tree up yet but I'm sure we'll get around to it.
The dog has her own blanket and pillow now too, she is sooo cute!

Visited a weird church last night which was closer to something occult than Christian. We were invited by the neighbours to go and see a play at a church placed in the middle of nowhere.
After looking the church up online, we decided to go along and see how it was. The people were generally very strange and of low intelligence, and the play itself was very repetitive and used fear to scare people into being children of God.
It didn't mention anything about Christmas, the birth of Christ or anything in that area; and as soon as it was over we were fairly quick to get out of the door, we didn't stay to eat.

Things are going well here at the house, I thought I would post here to say hey to everyone. Stephanie (the dog) is happy and healthy in her new home.
I'm in a good mood today, unusual for a woman I know. I am very relaxed and at ease. We've been shopping today, got some new tennis shoes (trainers for the Brits) as the other ones didn't have enouph padding and hurt my feet after long walks. I'm just a poof. He he he!
Speak to you later people, Love you all!

We decided to get a dog today to add a new member to the family, and on this thought we said that it would be best if we got the dog from an animal shelter; in order to save a life. We went to a county around 2 hours away after seeing one that we liked on the internet.
Upon arrival we found that we had to search for the dog as the staff lacked management ability. We found the dog that we had seen on the internet, but instead we fell in love with its' sister. We took our female dog to the front desk, at which point we were given several forms of paperwork to fill in.
Our paperwork was taken and a slim woman with short hair came to interview us about how we would treat the dog; with regard to the answers we gave on the the forms. We said that we 'may' use a zipline at some point, as it gives the dog room to move around, freely and safely. The woman explained that her boss said the zipwire was dangerous, as it would be tied up. Instead, they wanted us to go home, put up a hut, take photo's and then come back to prove that we were worthy of the dog. Our application was refused.
They would rather that dog be put down after it had been there so long, than for us to take it home. They were worried about us tieing the dog up even though, they kept it sharing a small cage.
We knew that this dog would die soon, and we decided that the moral thing to do was to take that dog home, no matter what. We took the dog away from the reception desk, and into the back of the building where you can take the dog outside on a leash, the whole area was caged off. We found one gate that was padlocked, and behind it were some woods. The guy that was with me broke through the padlock using a multi-tool and we made a plan.
I was to run through the woods, with the dog on a leash whilst they walked back through the building and went out of the main exit. He would ride the car around to the carpark of another building where we would meet at the other side of the woods.
It worked, and we put the dog in the back of the car, rearranged seating and took her home. She is a German Shepherd mix, 7 months old and very friendly. She is pictured above.
When authority is wrong, you have to take things into your own hands.

Does anybody know the easy, simple way to make Jam? Strawberry, if it makes any difference. I'll probably look it up later regardless.
Today has been a nice day, driving around a lot job prowling mainly, which was okay and currently we are just sorting out the leaves on the yard as the yard is full of them. So, they are being put into piles and burnt.
I'll post more later,

I've had a relaxing and ncie day today which hasn't been filled with much but that has been nice. I have received contact from some friends of whom I haven't heard from since I left, which is really nice. It has made my night.
When someone who you haven't heard from in a long while spends the time to send you a long email of correspondance and love, it means a lot to me. I have been thinking about this person a lot to who I am going to call 'C' for the sake of their confidentiality.
Anyway, I'll post more later.

It's strange but I am getting some really weird cravings for things that are sweet and/or full of sugar. Why would that be? I am not diabetic, would anyone care to leave a comment if they ahve any idea's or thoughts on this?
Life is still good with nothing much to report for today. I am happy but I am sick in lots of little ways right now. I have a pain in my lower stomach, my eyes keep itching, I am very sleepy a lot and I keep on getting boosts of energy, in which time I appear hyperactive.
Last night we watched 'Star Wars, episode 2' as a family, which was really nice. The star wars movie's have a lot of suggestions about life which are meaningful.
Christmas is coming up and for once I don't look at it with the same dread that I used to, it's quite incredible, in a good way.
Anyway, I'm going to take a rest.
Later,
Sarah

It's hotter than a British summer here, not that it would take much to beat; but I'm sure you know what I mean. I've been out in the garden most of the day and it has been really nice. I was just wearing one short sleeved top and some relatively thin pants (trousers).
Still a little bit sick as my immune system has been hit and I am catching lots of little bugs at the moment that my body has not developed an immunity to yet; due to this being a different country.

Hi there everyone,
I know that the blog has been down for a couple of days as we lost internet access and the household has been sick with Bronchitus so nobody has really felt up to doing a repair job. It is okay now though, I just thought I'd clear up the worries of some people. I'm safe and well.
Life is good and it is a lot hotter over here than I'm used to, certainly for November. I mena, I'm used to wearing large jackets and constantly leaving the central heating on overnight lest I should wake up freezing in the morning. At the moment it is not like that at all, sometimes the air conditioning is on - in November no less.
I'm really enjoying life now, more thna I ever have. I feel like I have got back inb life what I have missed out on for the past 16 years - true happiness and love. Here I am with Christian people who have morality and also love and care about me. It's not like there aren't things that I don't miss back home, but in the main, I wouldn't change life at all given the choice and opportunity.
I haven't been up to a lot recently, just hanging out with the fmaily and getting used to life. I'm 16 and finally free to do what I want, and all I really want to do is settle down and be happy and safe. I'm so glad that I made the decisions when I did, I don't think life will ever be the same again -and that is a good thing.
I'm not depressed anymore like I used to be, I'm not under stress or living to be somebody who I am not, and I'm not being abused. I'm just me, and that's who I want to be.

There is much to comment about, but I have been on the move too much recently to write. My apologies go to my readers. For those of you worried about me; you may put your worries to rest. The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. So much has changed for me recently that I hardly know where to begin. There will be more frequent updates to this blog when life settles for me again. Until then... cheers.

As reported by The Star (of South Yorkshire) "Ex-cop's child rape trial halted".
2 years after I took out a court case against my Uncle, and the day before I was due in court to testify, to be given my chance to speak up... I walk into a room for a meeting with my father, one police officer, one representative of the CPS (crown prosecution service) and one barrister. The guy was my barrister, and it was the first time we had met.
He explained that although he has had this case for months, this is the first time he has looked at it, and although it is less that 24 hours until the trial, he believes that there is not conclusive evidence to get a conviction, so the case has been dropped. I completely flipped. I lost my vision, everything was a blur.
I stood up and walked toward the door, I didn't want to listen to anymore and the barrister said "why don't you sit down and we'll talk this through?", he had reached my limit. I got really close to his face and was screaming at him about how Gary (my Uncle) had destroyed my life, and now this guy who was being paid over £350 an hour is going to chuck it all away.
I went to leave the room and had this cop in my face, telling me to calm down, female cop. I just told her to f*** off and stay away from me. I couldn't stop shaking and everything was just one big blur. I began walking away from them and then I just collapsed onto the floor, shaking violently, I completely lost control with a whole lifetime of nerves released.
I feel hollow and completely out of focus, like I am in some kind of a dream.
What happened to me?
Sarah
(I would appreciate no phone calls with regards to this post. Thanks)

I'm not going into school again, the school breaks up for two weeks tomorrow anyhow. I am under far too much stress to take that place on. I am feeling overwhelmed and at the same time I get calls from people who are just making my situation worse.
People who I don't feel like talking to will call me on the phone and say things like "well, if you want to talk...". If I wanted to talk, don't you think that I would just call them? I mean, I'm 15, I'm naive but I'm not stupid.
