Hi Afcjan. Just to try to cheer you up, my friend's son has just got back last week after a year in N.Z. He was working with animals, horses and sheep I think, but he's never stopped talking about the wonderful time he had, that's according to his mum. Now he's off to the big animal hospital in Liverpool to study to be a vet. There are wonderful opportunities for your son. You'll miss him like mad, but he'll be back before you know it. I'll be thinking of you. love. Schutz.
