ENGLAND TOMORROW

I leave for England TOMORROW. It's hard to believe that it is all really happening. I'm currently looking at the contents of my suitcase scattered all over the living-room and trying to find the energy to pack it all, so I'm procrastinating by giving you all the trip itinerary.  (Also, just as a warning, there will be many posts hereafter with an awful  lot of caps lock, so I apologise in advance.

Yes. There will be lots of flailing, and probably more pictures than you care to see. You have been warned.


If you want a postcard from England/Wales, email/message me your address. I can't PROMISE that you'll get one, but I'll see what I can do!
