Well, we are off to Rotherham at the start of August. Leaving the crowds and rudeness of London behind to settle in South Yorkshire. Will be a bit sad to leave the little flat in South London for good, but change is good and we will find another one in the future.
We headed up to Rotherham on Monday and stopped there overnight so that P could attend an interview. There was much preparation for the interview, so I was confident that she would have a good shot. There was some concern about an internal candidate who had been waiting for the position to come up. While the interview was taking place I walked into the town centre and had a look around. It seems like a nice enough place, although the heat and humidity we are having here at the moment made it a little tiring. The news when it came through from P was positive, as I had expected (hoped). Apparently she nailed the interview, was offered the position after a short wait outside and starts on the 10th of August. P is a little daunted as it will be her first consultant post (has to be a grown up), but is in her area of specialty, so I have no such concerns.
We are off to Norfolk tonight to walk from Hunstanton to Cromer along the Norfolk Coast Path (leaving Peddars Way for another time) starting tomorrow morning. Will be nice to get away, been looking forward to it for some time, so will be good to finally get there. Have been watching the weather map over the last few days and it appears that the coast is a little cooler than other parts of the country (such as London at 31 degrees). Five days of walking, bliss.
