Goodbye Lytteltonwitch; Welcome Lytteltonwitch!

The world's going topsy-turvy, for sure. Since December of 2002, almost the start of BookCrossing, lytteltonwitch has released over 8,000 books from her home down under in New Zealand. (No doubt it's all her books that have kept the world spinning at a slight tilt.) Prepare for a gravitational shift, because lytteltonwitch is headed to the United Kingdom for an extended stay. "I always said when I was first diagnosed with cancer that when I get my 5 year clearance that you won't see me for the dust. My specialist has given me my medical discharge at 4 years and 9 months. It was very helpful that the bank was asking for optional redundancy which meant that I could leave work with redundancy money. Thanks to a grandfather who was born in London I have an Ancestry Visa which entitles me to work for up to 5 years in the UK. I will be based in Nailsworth in Gloucestershire ...then who knows where I will be." There are two farewell parties planned, and undoubtedly numerous welcome parties when she reaches her destination. Safe travels, lytteltonwitch. New Zealand's loss is Britain's gain.
