Pickles Patch

Next month I head away on a big adventure with my good friend Annemarie,its her adventure really ,she has been dreaming of this for years. Where do I come into the picture? Well it was a crazy idea that popped into my head one sunny afternoon last year,after id joined Annemarie on a Garden Walk and then a drink or two at the Glenavey Hotel on our way home. Think Annemarie said "you should come with me"and I maybe said ..."why not, perhaps I will"..and now here I am. I have a brand new pack, sleeping bag, tramping boots and half the clothing stock from the Katmandu store in Christchurch ..more than im ever going to be able to fit into that nice new pack (told you Hannah, Aimee ,Debbie and Andrew that I needed a much bigger one). Anyway on the 17th of next month I set off for Peru for a whole month. So I hope to share some of my adventure on my blog as I go, so my friends and family can,in a small way, share my adventure to. How do I feel...terrified at the moment and worried about everything from the plane going down to forgetting to take my roll of tiolet paper and bag of soap ends. So let the count down begin...
