Update on my move!

Well.... I have been here for about a month now, and it hasnt been too bad so far. At the moment I have been settling into the area, getting to know people and getting involved with some things at church. It is wierd living out in the sticks although there is something refreshing about living out in the country.

The only thing that I do find wierd is the effort in which it takes to get things. I mean, where I used to live, everything was on tap. Buses til past midnight every 20 minutes or so throughout the day, access to supermarkets down the road, and a range of shopping with really easy access as well. Also a short walk to the train station.

Here - its a bit of a different story. Buses every hour til about 7 of an evening, but expensive too. Therefore I am coming to the conclusion that to live in somewhere like this, you need to have a car! I don't at the moment therefore I do depend on my parents to get to places.
However although it is really different living here, it is nice, the cleaner air, the green fields, and the little lambs ive seen which live nearby - they are sooooo cute!
Once I get my new camera - I will endeavor to go out and take lots of pictures! I need to add to my flickr!

So it has been an interesting month....looking for work, although that has been a bit of a mountain to me for various reasons...
I am currently at uni for a nice couple of days break and actually loving it! I really do miss uni and will be glad to go back in the Autumn. But while I am here - Im going to get on with research for my dissertation! Got to think about what I want to look at!

So yes, this is an update from me, with what has happened since moving.

Highlights:
Meeting new and lovely people at church.
Going out with three girls Nou, Gemma and Sonja which was fun.
Little lambs!
Taking Jack for a walk - lovely dog!
Going out with mum, diane and liz - they are sooooo funny!
Meeting up with Leila - it is so nice to have someone who has moved as well and doesnt live too far away!
YFriday....may be coming down *exciting!*
The sunshine when its out - because it makes the area soooo beautiful!

Things to pray for:
What to do with my time (job, money, dissertation research)
Friends - I miss them from home and uni! To make new ones here
Living in a new place which is different to what I am used to
The mountains to be moved
