Wow... thankyou so much for all the lovely comments. I'm really touched. Like I said, I wrote this for my own debrief and was actually really embarrassed to post it because it's sooooo long and I thought it might be a bit self-indulgent. But I'm really glad others have enjoyed it, and if it gives anyone ideas, inspiration or information... I'm really happy to have shared it.

Amy, I wrote a fair bit down within the first few weeks, it's just taken me this long to put it all together into a semi-coherent story.

Thanks again beautiful women.
