Cape Town
It is a fact Cape Town has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. (OK take away the townships – but every city has a dodgy area – just look at Bath!) It was an early start on our first morning after an evening of Ostrich Steak the night before I…

And we are off!

The journey to the airport was fairly easy, having picked Simon up from Timsbury we headed back to Mum and…

Lions in Lincoln!!
Good Lord that was a tight match on the weekend. Slightly bizarre surroundings in a crowd of about 20-30 people in the end of a Walkabout pub in Lincoln with Tash. I was the only one in the newest shirt and we were getting looks for being girls in the Lions tops anyway from some…

Countdown!
So the days are ticking down – 73 to go until I actually depart. Not that I am at all excited or anything!! I have been counting down since the start of the year – worrying isn’t it?!! Went to Lee Mears’s Testemonial Curry Night in the Eastern Eye last Wednesday evening and Lee told…
