Hi Wendy!

Just a quick to tell you that finally I've moved house. My new address is 12 Jackson Lane, Pennington. But obviously you can still email at this address.

I'm enjoying life in a small village after London. Of course when I was in London I could do anything I wanted - I could go to the theatre or the cinema, meet friends, eat out, follow an evening course, do any sport. Here in Pennington I can't really do those things easily. But I hope that when I get my new car next week I'll be able to travel nearby towns and take advantage of the things on offer.

I enjoy being able to take a walk in the woods when I want and getting home from work in only10 minutes. In London I couldn't get home from work in less then 45 minutes. And I love being able to spend more time at home and relaxing.

Hope to hear from you soon, take care!

Katie
