I'm now in Germany!! For nine months, improving my German and teaching English at a school about half an hour away from Duesseldorf. Really exciting but pretty scary too because I haven't really spent that much time alone abroad before! I will be trying to take some photographs, and I've taken a couple in Italy which I rather like and may use to paint something from at some point, but the arty side of things has somewhat stalled since I've got so busy here. It's also quite difficult to fit a proper French easel into 20kgs.
