Atlanta to Kings Lynn

Long time no Blog.
It been 2 months since returning from the U.S. and trying to kick start a new life in the U.K. and we're finally moving out of Grassington Drive in Burnley, and leaving Nic's parents alone. We're off to Kings Lynn in Norfolk were Nic has secured a job in the local Hospital.
But what about Atlanta?! Atlanta was interesting. We visited the local museum of art, and viewed an exhibition of Leonardo Da Vinci, only to find that most of his works are owned by our very own Queenie, Liz. A lot of his works had Elizabeth Va.. (er i mean) Regina stamped all on them.

We then visited the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historic Site, and learnt quite a bit about the civil rights movement. It was a very moving experience, and i would recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

After an 8 hour flight back to Manchester we were greeted by Steve and Bev, and whisked away for an Asda Bacon Butty and mug of tea! It was great. The jetlag was interesting, it took a few days to get settled, to be honest it has taken until now to get our feet back on the ground. I had a great visit to Northern Ireland and spent some time with my parents, then back on the job-hunt. Initially we had thought about resettling in Northern Ireland, but that wasn't to be. Even though they have the lowest unemployment in the UK, there just wasn't any jobs available for either of us. It would have been to explore my Island more, but it was not to be, and so that is why we are off to Kings Lynn where the work is.

We've had a great couple of months with Nicole's parent's, and its been really good catching up with all our friends and family. The blog will continue from now on with my musings on life, as the Appalachian Trail continues to Europe and beyond, long may the adventures continue.
