HRH Diary Entry-Start of Summer Holiday

HRH writes about leaving Eton on a summer holiday and the feeling of being home at Clarence House.

15 June Friday   Today is bittersweet for me. I left for home after a long morning at the pool with the team. It was agreat start to the day. After that, Alexander met me at my room as I waited for the car. We killed the time in a very fun way. The strange part though was how he was very kiss-y after. It was great, just different than usual.   When my mobile went off to tell me to get my bages and go to the carpark, Alex grabbed at me and kissed me again, rather tenderly. He told me he was going to miss me during the holiday and he suggested we might try to find time for each other over the summer.   Actually, it would be nice if I could find a way to get him up to Scotland.   Once I got back to Clarence House, the bittersweet gave way to the simple feeling of being home.   Annie had come home last week and had a full we to get settled. Most of my daily use items are still in boxes and bags.   My desk here though is so much better than at Eton. My beautiful desk blotter pad from Gran. All my favourite stationary.   Sometime over the past week An has taken to covering the surface of my desk with clippings of different news articles about my accident. Just to torment me - naturally.   But that's the thing about having a sister like Annie, torment is loving and never really torment.
