Semey, Kazakhstan
a phone call was being made to the British embassy to get the car scrapped as a man came into the garage and saved us with the missing part found in a garage. Camping wild tonight and its freezing after driving through rain and taking it in turns to sit on the bonnet as we drive!

Originally from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, but have since moved to Bristol, the home of the Adventurists! I'm very laid back, can't wait to meet people from all walks of life, and sharing some stories, and hopefully some booze. I like drinking and punk rock and currently work as a mental health nursing assistant in Bristol Prison.

One, Alex, remains in Harrogate slaving away in PC World, and has a beautiful purple shirt to prove it. His brother, Oli, is apparently slaving away at Bath University, but seems to be more concerned with beer and the rally than his work. His friend, Jamie, works in the mental health ward of a prison, and cries himself to sleep as a result of this.</span></div><div> </div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small">I hope you enjoy our blog...</span></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>
