So it begins

If you ask anyone I grew up with what the least likely thing I was going to do in life is I would guess that this is fairly high up on the list: in 1 month I will be going to Africa for a couple of years while my husband teaches in a school.

I'm terrified of spiders, I used to check my bedroom with a torch for snakes before sleeping (when I was 8 - stop laughing at the back!) and I don't do well in the heat. God has a sense of humour!

We're in the final stages of packing up and shipping out - wish me luck!
