So here I am, 3 days left at the Old Battery to go, a pile of stuff in the spareroom ready to put in a bag. This time next week I will be a part-time resident in London and a full time volunteer at The Royal Museums Greenwich for my sabbatical.
I currently don't actually think it is real! I am sure that as soon as I do a few days work and get in the swing of things it will all be real enough! I am terrified and excited in equal measures. I am still quite unsure of exactly what I will be doing and where. I haven't had time to visit Greenwich (outside of the museums) so I don't actually know where I am living or what my surroundings will be like. I'm hoping I won't be too tired or overwhelmed with it all that I can get a chance to find my bearings in that first week.
I have had chance to chat to a few people over the last few months since the position was finalised who have lived in or near to Greenwich and they all assure me it's a lovely place with a nice community. I have found a couple of gyms close by so I can keep up my training - thanks Google. I think I have sussed out the transport links (apart from the buses) so I can at least find my way there and home again!
