rachel19 Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Just to say a bit of a temporary goodbye really. I'm off to sunny South Africa on Sunday for a 10 week volunteering conservation project monitoring all the lovely animals on a private game reserve. I'm really gonna miss this great forum and will have to point my mum in this direction as she's going to be foster mother to my 3 lovely girls while I'm away If you're interested, I've set up a travel blog thing which I will update when I can with photo's etc. If you want to check it out the website is www.getjealous.com/beardedlady Anyway, will still be around till Sunday and then I'll be back sometime in September!!!!! Hope you all have a great summer...........and many many eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Thanks for all the support! I should be able to do an update on my travel blog every couple of weeks when I get to go to the local town for supplies. As well as staying on the game reserve we get to go up into the Drakensburg mountains for 5 days to monitor the smaller mammals staying in a tiny cottage with no electricity or hot water!!! Definately going to be an adventure!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rachel19 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I might just do that!!!! Apparently cold water can be a bit hit and miss as the elephants sometimes pull up the pipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
