My fellow employee, who turns out to be an all-round great girl, and a knock-out fun-as-you-go teacher too, is moving to London.
I’m having to rethink options here, though there are a couple of pretty good web services which might partially fill the gap.
In the meantime, I wish her every success in her new venture. And thanks for all your help, Em – you made me understand that I can really do this thing. All the best to you!
