Departure

After a frantic week of goodbyes, nights out, packing and re-packing I am finally ready to leave. Whatever I need that is not in my bag now I do without!

I leave tomorrow morning for the train to Mongolia, via Russia! Starting with the 0918 Wakefield Westgate to London! Moscow in 2 days time.

I have packed up my house and belongings and stored most posessions in my loft - a gargantuan effort, or so it seemed! I have someone moving in on Friday which is a tremendous relief.

For months now it has seemed like I have never had enough time to get through all the jobs I needed to get through to get organised. My passport with my Mongolia visa only arrived on Friday...

I have been in contact with some volunteers who have either been or are still there in Mongolia and it has been very reassuring and useful corresponding with them.

Too tired to write more... need sleep before the long journey.

Speak soon...
