to quote Batman's sidekick, Robin...

'holy cannoli, Batman!'

 

I knew it had been a while since I've blogged, but I didn't realise it had been as long as it has.... apologies. Things have been very crazy since Christmas as my brother fell and broke both bones in his lower leg in two separate places (the math? That means 4 fractures.)  And, my mother fell back in January and we've only just found out yesterday that she broke a vertebrae in her back, so as you can imagine my time spent volunteering has been very very local (like within my own household)! That's where things stand just now.

But, I am onto a new lead for a fantastic project down in London that sounds fantabulous. Applications start within the next week or so with placement commencing in September so fingers and toes again crossed. We'll see!

In the meantime, I've got a book to recommend for those souls looking for inspiration (& maybe a bit of validation for thirty-somethings who sometimes think they're crazy for choosing to take a gap year). Apparently it's only just been published in the UK within the last few days. (I promise I don't work for the publisher!) It's called 'Eat, Pray, Love' by Elizabeth Gilbert and it's wonderful. After coming through a divorce, she decides to take a year traveling to Italy, India and Indonesia.

And, I promise, within the next few days I'll finish my countdown of great websites. I have saved my favs til last!
