When we went into Lockdown the first time, most families became smaller as everyone had to stick to their bubbles. Ours became bigger because we have Yuki – our Japanese homestay student and my ‘big sister’ until the end of the year.

I’ve never had a homestay sister before, but they are so much fun. I have learnt a lot about Yuki’s home and her country. I even know more about basketball as Yuki plays for Carmel’s top team. When Yuki first joined our family, she was quiet and now she is almost as talkative as me!!
