June 24 2005:
Goodbye England

Nicki and I became work colleagues 18 years ago and today she finally turned off her PC for the last time. And she won’t be turning one on at home tonight either, for all her and her family’s belongings are packed ready for a new life in New Zealand.

Nicki was one of those people who gave the office life and energy, and one who always had a story to tell. It says something about her when the Director even suggested that she perhaps do some home working for the authority, 13,000 miles away! As it happens she has found a good job in Auckland and I believe will find a better quality of life.

So Goodbye, Nic – hoping to see you in 2007!

Takes tremendous courage for that sort of move.
Good luck to her.

Very nice portrait of a vibrant woman. You managed to make me feel like I know her and I wish her luck.

Excellent window lit portrait very well composed. Big step, big change of lifestyle, I hope everything goes well for her.

Looks like she'll soon be "down under".

Large hearted lady indeed she seems... ;-)
Goodbye Nic !

Nice natural portrait. The contrast between the red sweater and the monochrome background is very striking. Do you and Della have a theme challenge I haven't heard about?? LOL
