I don’t normally post my documentary journal in this thread, however as it has been a while since I finished assignment 2 and am now going to post Part 3 and assignment 3 and I thought it would be good to show the context I have been working in over this time:

I have been finishing the coursework intensely the past couple of weeks, between funeral planning and beginning probate work, and grief.
Today I’ve had an e mail from OCA telling me that my tutor will need to be replaced; this sent me into a spin as I’ve not heard from the course director who I ws advised to write to to explain my circumstances and request some breathing space. I hope to have a dialogue with student support today. My intention is to press on now to meet my end of this course deadline, but with all I’ve been through the past few months and now probate, selling and clearing my mother’s house and facing a final house move from Hampshire to Pembrokeshire in December myself, I think if I don’t have a lifeline of some extra time I may self combust!
I would like to continue from Part 3 and Assignment 3 in a manner in which I can enjoy what I’m doing.

Back at last. Its been a very difficult few months. Subsequent to submitting my assignment moved house to Wales and my Husband has also been in and out of hospital. Just when I thought things were settling down my Mother (in England) was taken ill, so I rushed back and was there for a few weeks; she subsequently died.
I am now back in Pembrokeshire and hope to get going again. I did contact the OCA to see whether I could take time out if needed but have not had a response. I would rather try to get back on track so I’ll try to carry on and catch up. Throughout this period I have been working on assignment 3, joining in with forums and study days and sharing work and ideas. I have attended many virtual events, it is just that its been rather stop/start and that my coursework came to a halt towards the end.
Onwards and upwards!

I submitted my assignment on 6th July and I’ve had my feedback (24th July) which is useful and incisive. In the last month I’ve moved house and studying and photography has had to stop, but I hoping to be able to start again this week.
