Received the Brown Envelope today, I was at work when my brother told me there is a brown envelope for you from Liverpool. I asked him to open it for me and it was the citizenship invitation letter asking me to contact my council within 21 days. Really happy was waiting for the approval very anxiously, was difficult to ignore it and not think about it.

Had my ceremony today. It was welcoming and I was more emotional than I thought i'd be which was a pleasant surprise.

Hope you all enjoy your ceremonies too.

Well done to you Plum! I bet its a nice feeling to know it is all coming to an end!!

Thank you Mrs Azad!

It is some kind of feeling I can't eloquently vocalise. But I will say that for my husband and I it has made us feel more grounded and 'at home' here.
