Leaving (a bit late)

I was planning to write a final blog post before I left on Weds 4th April but didn't get a minute with all the packing and journeys to deposit my possessions around south London... Moving the large majority of your stuff in boxes single handed is hard work but maybe it's easier to comment on those last few days now that I've had some time away - succinctly, of course I was sad to leave my home, family, friends and everything that is so familiar.

Everything happened a bit in a rush towards the end of my time in London but I packed a lot in to those last few week and will keep those memories with me as I move around: mum and dad waving me off at the airport (not sure who cried the most!), the barbecue at home with my family, Charlie and I taking a trip up the Natwest Tower for cocktails and amazing views of home, Lisa's 30th birthday celebrations, having a great time at my leaving work drinks and seeing as much as I could of everyone I enjoy so much.


I wanted to write a few words on that and have some photos that I can look at when I'm missing home - the view out of my bedroom window in Spitalfields in the snow and a sunset that was pretty spectacular in the city. Although I know I'm going to be seeing a lot more of those, this is the one at home and that makes it special.

In a minute I'll write a bit more about my first week in Uganda and get some pictures uploaded so you can see what I've been seeing - it's been amazing!
