11.4.2011 - 17.4.2011 UK - week 2

I started work on Friday the 15th so spent the week leading up to that hanging out with Thea at her place in Wadhurst registering her old car to use for the commute to work, catching up with her friends and walking the dogs through some amazing scenery, with a little bit of shopping thrown in. I learnt very quickly how to navigate the motorway - very scary but managed to make it to work and back even if it did take double the time it was supposed to! We spent the weekends in Mortimer with Nan and Grampa and had a brilliant all you can eat buffet lunch at the local Indian restaraunt together.
