Okay, it's been absolutely donkey's years (that's a really long time in UK-speak) since I've posted anything on here. My sincere apologies. Life has been just a little crazy over the last 7 months.
Here is a speed of light update:
Since my last posting I have visited 2 new countries, been on 3 continents, hiked for 7 days in total, gone to Martha's Vineyard twice, met my new niece, and started 10 IV's.

Here is the photographic evidence (sorry, no pics of me starting IV's):

After three wonderful months back home, I am setting out on a new adventure. I have moved back to the UK, but this time to Derby (in the Midlands). I will be working as an intern with an international church for the next 7 months. Both the community around us and the community within the church is incredibly diverse, so I will be experiencing both the joys and challenges of so many different cultures. There is so much to learn, but I am excited and feel like I'm off to a good start. Please pray that I get settled in quickly.

Okay, sleep is a major key to me coping with all of these new experiences - and I think I still have a teensy bit of jet lag. So it's off to bed for now...
