Wow Kate - you are certainly my kind of girl!! Everything you say about different people's reactions rings a bell with me although most of my friends do think I've lost the plot. There have been huge belly laughs at the thought of how I am going to be able to squat over a toilet and numerous requests for photo's of said act! (weird lot of friends, I know!).

Six months away eh? That's fantastic. I shall watch your reports with enormous interest. I still have seven weeks until I leave for India and am busy sorting out all the loose ends. I am away for 11 weeks and, like, you, can't wait.

I don't want to look back on my life and think 'was that it?'. I intend, like you, to make the time count and look back on great memories
