the times they are a'changing

well, here I am and it's my last week of work. I've been working for the same charity for the last two and a half years (granted I've done 3 different jobs during my time) and it feels a little weird to be counting down the days until I leave.
it's been a 'bossa nova' few years with 'Da Action' and I am thoroughly sad to be leaving... although the thought of cruising round central america for a few months also sounds appealing.
It's also gonna be weird bidding my farewell to the city of Derby, the place I have slightly reluctantly called home for the past six and a half years. Please don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed my time here and I have some wonderful friends but I find it a little bit of a dreary place -Normanton not included in this sweeping statement!
I am having a small leaving party organised by some friends from church on the 16th (photos to follow) and hopefully catching up with everyone else over the next few days.
I have yet to decide whether I would prefer to slip away quietly or to make a grand exit- i will return to this subject at a later date once I have decided.
So, my planned date of departure is 22nd feb, after which I will decamp to Darlington (the jewel of the north east) for a few days to hang out with my folks, get fed and prepare myself for the journey.
