"Oh, you need to speak to someone I know in................."
Now I've started speaking to people for real I feel like Alice in Wonderland disappearing down the rabbit hole, in a good way of course.
When all us Fellows met in July we were told of the serendipity that often occurred when meeting people who would then open the door to someone who would be able to open another and so on.
Well, it's clear that doing the Fellowship online puts that serendipity on steroids. Over the last 10 days I've spoken to the US thrice, Canada once, been pointed back to Ireland, hopped over to New Zealand and directed to Australia and back to the US. Each person is generous in relation to the time and energy they give me, also they have all agreed to be recorded as part of my 'audio appendices'.
Themes are starting to emerge across cultures, what families want and what they can have. Who is doing the work and if they're in the system outside of it.
I'm taking a little time off now then back to the US and perhaps a little sojourn into Europe.
Thank you to all everyone who has given their time so far. If you've a contact in some far flung land or closer to home then do email me at info@alcoates.co.uk
PS. I can't be too sure but think I was speaking to someone in Mexico this week, they were definitely Mexican though. I should have asked.
