Hi all,

been a while huh?
I'm back in the UK now. Been a busy girl since I got back so I haven't been very good at keeping in touch. I'll send an email round to everyone soon - just have a few more addresses to add so that I can keep the Dahabians in the loop!

I've sorted myself a new car - seeing as I stupidly got Mum and Dad to sell the Yaris because I didn't think I would be coming back for a while! I now have a little blue VW Polo which I call Minty... Polo.. Minty... anyway... and I have a flat in Tavistock which is lurvely. I've got myself a part-time bar job at Bearslake Inn, a lovely 13th century thatched building, run by a lovely family. It's odd hours at the moment but it's helping pay the bills and allowing me to spend some time getting back into painting and drawing. I've actually made some cards that are on sale in Mum & Dad's tearooms - sold my first one yesterday!

Now I'm just waiting for Harry to come back! He's finishing some courses off in Dahab and Sharm at the moment - typical, you wait ages for decent work to come along and then when it does...! He's already landed himself a diving job in the UK, but unfortunately it's down in Falmouth so he'll have to stay down there when he's working and then spend his days off with me in Tavistock.

I'm finding it hard settling back in. I really miss Dahab and I really miss the diving.
Hopefully the weather will start to get a bit better and I'll brave UK waters, but I can't see me doing that for a little while yet. Maybe I'll be able to go down to Falmouth and dive with Harry... we'll see. Got to invest in a drysuit first!
