      A conversation with a student this week made me think about my early days in Australia, and things that I missed about the UK (apart from family and friends) at that time. Sounds a bit trivial, but I really missed Marks and Spencer!! I missed their trifles, crisps, ready made sandwiches and underwear among other things It became a ritual to go to M&S with my mam every time I went home for a visit. I’d have a bra fitting and mam would stock up on my favourite food!! It’s amazing the things you think about.

      Therefore I’d like to add - comfort food - M&S - shared experiences/ rituals - to the word list

    Ground = understood as a place towards which a person is attached which he/she associates with his or her roots

A key feature to finding meaning and understanding in the text is located in Ruth's ability to effect great change within her adopted community and nation. A major theme embedded in the text is th
