Time

Don't you just hate it when you have something to look forward, ie holiday and you feel the time is ticking away soooo slowly ! You know the day for you to take off will be here in no time at all, but part of you just thinks that time is not on your side. Being at work constantly helps, especially when you have plenty to do, but not everyday does. Many a day goes by when i have too much time to think about what i plan to do in my first week of my long awaited holiday down under !

My 1st summer of the year

It has now been summer for at least a week, i mean a proper summer ! Hot Sun Rays beating down on a crowd of girls, old and young as we get ready to do the Race For Life at Holme pierrepoint, Nottingham. All for a good cause ! Walked it in 50mins.....
Compared to the majority of the world we don't get a full blown summer season and even if we do it doesn't last long ! But shortly i will be able to make up for lack of sun as i head of down under in a few months. To experience Christmas during the aussie summer..............................
With both my tours booked, ( one of Tasmania, the other of W.Australia ), the majority of my accomodation booked for the 3months i will be spending in Oz and having bought a new travel bag, i am almost on that plane! It is just a matter of time now........
Oh, how i wish time would travel quicker. Damn u clocks!

4months to go...........

Time is ticking by but i am almost ready. would say about 85/90% done.
Slowly counting down the weeks till i leave work, although it could be anytime soon as the shop is up for sale and have had actually viewings of the premises. and at the same time counting down the weeks till i leave sad old england. It's not exactly the best place to be right now................. If you have seen/heard the news lately you will understand why !
Get paid on friday so can do more travel shopping, and then i will be fully completed after augusts pay date. Wa hey ! so till next month, cheerio x

Loveable Quotes

Travelling is not just seeing the new; it is also leaving behind. Not just opening doors; also closing them behind you, never to return.
But the place you have left forever is always there for you to see whenever you shut your eyes.
jan Myrdal


I have wandered all my life and i have travelled; the difference between the two is this :
we wander for distraction but we travel for fulfillment.
Hillaire Belloc


If you actually look like your passport photo, you aren't well enough to travel.
Sir Vivian Fuchs

So little time............

Since buying my ticket to australia over 2months ago, have been planning and putting deposits down for tours and volunteer work while out there. Time is fast approaching and still have lots to do. I know its 7months away but as i only get paid monthly it doesn't give me much time as such..........As i can only spend certain amounts between each pay day, leaving me enough to live on till next month..........
this is the bit that i hate having to do, why can't things just fall into place! As i am going at a time when other brits are going, will be summer in Oz, places ie hostels, book up quick. Having to plan in advance is good as you save later and don't have to worry about what to do next. But at the same time can be stressful with planning arrival dates, hostel accomodation and timing of travel in between towns, cities.
Of course all these panic attacks will subside once everything is sorted & i finally arrive Down Under..................

Time for a summer " Down Under "

Now all i have to do is wait for the next 8months to pass away as soon as possible for i have finally booked my next travel expo. And this time will be going for an aussie summer, experiencing christmas & new year, all on my own & far away from home, family & friends !
Leaving england on 16th November for Melbourne, spending time in australia visiting family & friends before going off to New Zealand in search of work to fund further travel & to experience the quality of work out there.
For the search of a new beginnning, a new career, experience the lifestyles of a better place, to do some good in a more rewarding & in a location where i would prefer to be !!!
