Friday 25th March

2 weeks to go!!! I fly to Ullapool on 8th April.
What is happening to the time???? I have been planning this adventure for months and Easter 2011 has felt like years away, but suddenly it is just around the corner. Help!! Where does the time go anyway?
At work I see pupils I remember as tiny, shy Year 7 pupils embarking on their GCSE years with confidence, attitide and weird hairstyles and I wonder how it happened that they got so much older and taller. And anyway how is it that kids are so tall these days???
Life seems full of questions without answers at the moment.

My mother - one of my staunchest supporters

 Fortunately I have my family and friends to support me.



My dad and husband - they would be disappointed if I gave up

 So it looks like I'll just have to get on and do it! It's too late to back out now.
As the days get longer and warmer - and today was a glorious spring day - the whole idea seems less like a moment of lunacy and more like one of the sanest things I have ever planned.
But only experience will tell. I will keep you posted...
So long as there is enough mobile reception..........................
