Hi Wendy!

Just a quick email to tell you that I’ve finally moved house. My new address is 12 Jackson Lane, Pennington. But obviously you can still email me 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 I get my new car next week I’ll be able to travel to 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 only 10minutes. In London I couldn’t get home from work in less that 45minutes and I love being able to spend more time at home relaxing.

Hope to hear from you soon, take care!

Katie
