From Africa to UK

[Solitaire]

I have the opportunity to go work in the UK for a while...
Small step for man, HUGE step for Sol!!
Leaving all that I know and love behind...
But, in a strange way, it seems right at every level.

So, for my virtual friends here, I might join you at the next meet-up

Hugs from sunny SA!

Sol, what a great opportunity! Have a great time - for how long will you be away? - and do try to meet up with the Army! And keep in touch here on the boards.

Daisy, I am petrified of the winter in the northern part!!
In South Africa, we seldom get to 0 Celsius, never snow!
But, I am ready for the adventure!

The unknown becomes the known very soon

Dreamy, I think 4 months to start with. If all goes well, I might go back again.
I'd love to sell myself as a well-travelled woman, but that would be a lie!
Been abroad, but never alone!!
The thought of Heathrow, the tube, FINDING Gloucester...
But? I could drink like a champ, surely I can master this too!! lol

If you can master the booze you can do anything! It'll be quite an adventure, quite envious of you.

gloucestershire is a lovely part of the country, i imagine very different to africa!

heathrow and london will hit you round the face when you arrive with jetlag and culture shock but get past the M25 ringroad around it and it all changes. enjoy!
