The whole world at my feet...

This blog is for my family and friends, to let them know my plans and predicaments, my adventures and experiences. To let them know when I'm on the move or staying put, and maybe even when I'm coming home - don't count on it anytime soon though! Enjoy...you are always on my mind, or at least at the back of my mind :-)

Cruising around Cornwall

April 11th, 2008

When I left you on Thursday I was in town uploading my blog, and I spent most of the day in town because the weather was really nice. So nice, in fact, that I ended up doing a bit of girly shopping and found a great pair of shorts for summer.

Books and Chinese Lanterns

March 1st, 2008

This week has just been a big blur of travelling, I’ve been going from shifts in Notting Hill in the west, to Archway and Cockfosters in the North, to South Kensington and Chelsea in the south west and of course I live in the east so you can imagine what that’s like! No? Tiring is one word.
