Not too bad eh? I could really get used to life here in St Francis. I’d soooo love to move into the flat at my boss’ house. The atmosphere here in St Francis is a permanent holiday vibe. Doesn’t even feel like you’re at work. However, unfortunately I have binding responsibilities in Port Elizabeth for at least the next year so I’ll have to stick it out for now.
It’s only about an hour from PE, so I’ll definately be trekking out here regularly :D
