My labour of love

I've pulled together the best of all the Raleigh pics from about ten memory cards. Obviously it's a biased view. But if you've got an hour and a half to spare, here are the links and they are well worth a look. As Rory predicted, I'm now looking at the whole experience through rose-tinted specs. (But no Chris, I am not doing another one, even if it is in Tibet. No, no, and no.) Interesting aside: I'm doing this at my Mum's, she's just told me I type as if I'm playing the piano. I'm not sure if this is a compliment or a terrible testimony to my computer addiction.

For all my moaning about Raleigh rules and structure, I gained so much from it. Being in a totally different environment really makes you think about what you enjoy and what is important to you in life. I got a completely different perspective and that is what I needed, I was so so stuck. I can't believe I was afraid to give up the job, it seems so unimportant now. And there's nothing like watching someone you love die to make you realise you have to go for what you want in life because you never know when your time is up.

Anyway, here are the links to the pics. Enjoy. Beware. There are lots.
