Gillingham - wheres that?

My girlie is going to Kent - Gillingham to be exact. Yesterday she heard where her first 2 years will be spent. Her first year  will be at The Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham and she will work in A&E, cardiology and obs and gynae. A wonderful combination of jobs. There are not many opportunites to work in obs and gynae as an F1 so Chloe is very lucky to be able to do that. It all sounds quite scary to me but she is delighted. Her F2 year will be spent in Kingston and her jobs there will be sorted out nearer the time. As you can imagine we are now investigating all things Kent and have looked at maps and houses! I don't know Kent at all so it will be really interesting to get to know a new bit of England. My Grandparents were  born and grew up in Gravesend and the surrounding area so it will be great to go and visit some of the places they lived in. I hope to go and see the church where they were married etc... There is plenty of water for Ed which will be good for sailing when Chloe is working and when she is not! And a 45 minute journney into London for his work . So just the minor issue of finals to take care of and then she will be Dr Chloe - wow!

Today I am off to have my blood taken at the hospital (new forms have been written). I have to go to the hospital as I can only have blood taken out of one hand and it is quite tricky. At the hospital they use a tiny tiny needle and get it first time. So even though I have to drive into Reading and wait sometimes ages it is worth it.

This weekend Chloe and Ed home and celebrations for the new job. I am sure we shall be looking at houses too!
