Well I thought it was about time I updated this bit! I'm still Laura, and am now 27 and live in Lincoln. I work in Newark for a large multinational company as a financial accountant after finally making the wise move from practice - yippee, no timesheets ;)I've just come back from the experience of a lifetime, as you can hopefully see from my pictures. I biked 400km along the River Nile in Egypt aid of the Alzheimer's Society along with 46 other people and enjoyed every second of it - I'm already planning my next challenge and I would tell anyone to just go for it! I've met so many nice people and already looking forward to our reunion.When I'm not working I'm trying to keep fit so walk my dog, play netball and do whatever else I can! I've even become a big fan of biking thanks to the training for the Nile bike ride so you can probably catch me out on my bike around the county!I also enjoy going out with my friends, having a good natter and a bottle of wine; oh and a boogie if I've had enough wine! Oh and thanks to a few friends from Egypt, I now have a liking for beer - they know who they are ;)
