Leaving Newcastle
We were sad to say goodbye to Newcastle yesterday - all very emotional. I have decided that this has to be a trip of a lifetime because I am not sure that I can cope with all these goodbyes again. However, as my Mum said the first step of the trip is over and the what lies ahead is an adventure.
Also, thanks to everybody who attended our party. We had a great time and that was all to do with the people there. I have memories that are seared into my brain - mostly to do with the karaoke. I suspect that a lot of people released the inner demons through the karaoke, I am thinking especially of my brother,Tim, who is Grimsby’s answer to Eminem. There is a photo somewhere of my other brother, Dermot, and me looking on in terror as Tim let fly on the mic with a cracking version ‘Jump Around’. I think Simon Cowell may be giving him a call.
Anyway, got to say even more goodbyes before finally getting on the plane for Moscow on Monday (thank God BA posponed their strike or else we would be in all kinds of trouble). Will the torture of saying goodbye ever end?

I must be a bit wierd, because I quite like that process of saying goodbye before heading off on a trip. Maybe I’m just not thinking ahead about how much I’ll miss people, but there’s a certain feeling of ’see ya - wouldn’t want to be ya’
