T-minus 3 days

Gee whiz, it's three days till I leave Townsville, and it seems like there is so much to do! (probably because there is). I have just got back from an a 'small group' (like a bible study) that I have been going to for the last 3 weeks, and I am really sad that I will not be spending more time with that great group of people. I seem to remember as I left Victoria that I wouldn't be uprooting my whole life again in a hurry, but it feels like I'm doing that when I leave here as well!

The good news is that I HAVE A JOB!! :) I start on the 19 June in Buxton, which is in Derbyshire, about 3 hours north of London and 45 minutes south of Manchester. It is 50:50 small:large animals, with mainly dairy and beef cattle, sheep and a small amount of equine in the large animal department. Buxton is a town of about 21 000, in the centre of the Peak District, which is famous for it's beautiful scenery, rock climbing, caving, hiking etc, so it should be an exciting place to explore while I'm there. It is a locum position, but could be as long as 7 months, depending on how things pan out. So that is really great to have organised before I head off, and to know that I will be able to replenish the coffers, which I think I will need to do by then! I have some more photographic evidence of work, which I will post on here when I get the chance................
