Heartland

Haven't been on here for ages due to various bits of life stress. Probably won't be back in a hurry either due to more big changes on the way.

But for those who remember me from the distant past, and care, I'm being made redundant from my job, pocketing a moderately sized cheque and buggering off to Russia.

I'm re-training as an EFL teacher next month and looking for work in Moscow in the new academic year.

To be honest, it feels great. A real weight off the shoulders and a sense of re-taking control of my life again after spending far too long in an environment where I wasn't happy. I'd recommend it to any people who feel there's something they'd rather be doing with their lives.

And, if you're lucky enough to enjoy what you're doing, make the most of it! Millions will envy you.

All the best!

All the best to you to! And good luck!

lordy me! well, every cloud an' all that...!

all the best andy

and wrap up warm

You've been missed andy

Good luck in Mother Russia

We'll still be here if you get sick of snow, vodka, and snow.

Hello Andy, I remember you and care. Lots of luck and good things wished for you on your next step in life.

I don't like saying goodbye, so until you log on in the future, make the most of it, like I'm sure you will and enjoy!

All the Best Andy, enjoy!!

All the best Andy! Enjoy Russia, and the new Job (KGB?)!

IZ.

Good luck, Andy - and I hear you, man. I've been going through the same s**t for quite some time now. Only difference is, I don't *quite* have the guts at the moment to "bugger off to Russia". But I feel some massive impending change coming...

All the best in your new endevor. I hope that you will be able to join us online from Moscow, else your thoughtful posts will be missed.

good luck.

I do remember you, andy.


Good luck in old good Russia.


Went to Moscow my self 20 years ago. Didn't like it then, but it has changed.

Dos Vadanya, Tovaritsch!

Buggering off to Russia. Fcuk me, that takes some guts.

Andy, have a wonderful time over there, good man for sorting your life in the way it was obviously crying out for, you have my total respect.

Take care man, see you at next years Moscow Sisters gig.

I once left the country to seek my fortune elsewhere

Unfortunetly I came back

All the best mate, hope it all works out for you.....

Either you'll miss Southend too much and be back home in a couple of months?! or you'll pick up a nice Russian woman and never return home again?

If you remember keep HL informed how you're getting on in Russia.We could always come out and visit you for a long weekend!

Respect man.

Working yourself up to do that kinda thing can be the hardest thing in the world, but actually doing it once you get to there is just so so easy and natural.
