Bye NZ

I hate goodbyes, and this one is bittersweet. I’m so sad to be leaving my best buddy Max the Dog and saying bye to my gorgeous daughter Jen, but also pretty excited to be heading off on an expedition. Immense thanks to my lovely friend Marg who scooped me into her car, handed me tissues and drove me to the airport while I sat and cried next to her. She is also responsible for the photo below which at the time I thought was mad, but is actually a perfect record of how I feel. Love you Marg xx

Packed and ready to go
