Europe » United Kingdom » England » Surrey » Farnham February 24th 2013

Ten years is a very long time. That's how long I lived in Britain, even though, originally, I went there for six months; this proves that life is best taken as it comes and that even though plans need to be made, they also need to be flexible. During those years, I fell in and out of love with Britain many times but at the end of my time there my love for her was stronger and I can say now that moving to Surrey was the best decision I could take. As you know, I love lists and summary blogs, so our leaving Britain was the perfect chance to do both in one and this is the result: the up's and down's of my ten years in England, in no particular order: UP'S 1.

It seems like yesterday i left the refuge in Lima. However it has actually been a long time, almost a year ago i left. It was an unbelievable trip yet since my return to England, i have been ever planning the next one and raising lots of money for Project Peru. Amongst organised football tournaments, stall selling, car boots and raffles i have mapped out the route for 2013. I shall return to Lima to stay in the same refuge that is owned by Project Peru that homes nearly 50 underprivileged children. I will pick up the project where i left off. I moved away from football towards the end of last year and went towards sports days and team event days. With my well improved Spanish skills i am certainly positive that i can make ... read more

Last few hours before launching. Relaxing for a bit in the calm environs of Dormansland before the repetitive queueing of airports and planes begins. Survived the xmas football match with only a mildly sprained wrist and some aching leg muscles so I guess I have no excuse not to head for the giant hills :) Weather forecast looks near-perfect but does include a cold-snap from summit day (11th) onwards for a week (6 degrees is the high for those days, -15 the low). Otherwise it looks very pleasant indeed. Somewhat exhausted is not necessarily the best state to be starting this trip with so I'm hoping for some sleep on the overnight 8 hour flight to Delhi before the short hop to Kathmandu. Many thanks to all for the heart-felt wishes for success and safety - ... read more

Well it's almost time for us to go! We fly on Monday at 13.00. It's a 12 hour flight to Tokyo and they are 8 hours ahead so we will land around 1am UK time and 9am Japanese time. Just about ready to go, almost packed and have all the necessary items, just need to get it all together and tie up some loose ends! Just a last few goodbyes to say over the next 3 days (sniff sniff, sad times!) Starting to get excited and also nervous, can't believe it's nearly here. Hopefully we will have Internet fairly regularly to get on here and on Skype. My username for Skype is sarah_fairbairn1 if anyone would like to add me as a contact. Chantelle is taking her ipad so when we have wifi we can use ... read more
