Thank-you so much to those amongst you who have sent me messages or written in the guestbook recently. It's really great (even if it does feel a little strange) to learn that I have an audience around the world of people who I've never met. Initally I just set up this page for family and friends, but I'm very glad that other people are reading. Keep logging on and I'll try to keep you entertained until May when I head back home (and when I'm afraid my life will probably turn relatively boring again!).
