So... it has been a while. Don't worry Abigail - not much writing on this one, just pictures.
There are a number of reasons for this, but mainly it is because I am currently in a very frustrating position of paperwork limbo, which has left me in a place of "so near yet so far...".
During this time it has been very difficult to do anything. Lots of waiting by the phone, and researching procedures. Dull. But necessary. I will report more when I have it.
