Hi guys, Not much to tell. I'm still loving work at the RSPCA...great staff, busy busy and loads of animals! I sorted out the locum house which I'm currently staying in...it's all tidy now and I'm enjoying the space. Unfortunately, due to hiccups in transfers of New Zealand money and delay in bank account set up, I have been unable to do a lot, so my first weekend in Birmingham was fairly uneventful. I didn't even have enough money to catch the bus into the ...

Hey guys, O.k...wow...so here I am in Birmingham! Weoley Castle, Birmingham, to be precise! It's a low socio-economical area with the RSPCA directly opposite my accomodation. My trip here included a cancelled train (creating a plan B train route) and several delayed lines. I had to transfer three times.

The paths were a little slippery, so I went to the park and ran laps around that. There was bearly anyone around, but, the snow was light and refreshing...I loved it. It was a fairly...

It's been a full on week, so, I've only just managed to get on here and update you all. Last weekend I went on a weekend away with a church I'd been in contact with (All Souls). We went to Farnham Castle. It was incredible! I couldn't believe I was actually staying the whole weekend in this ancient castle. Winding, sloping stairs, high ceilings, thick walls, a air of mystery...it was fantastic. Unfortunately most of the castle was shut down over winter, so,...
