London :)

Yay I made it ... after loads and loads of movies and family guy! Plus I was lucky enough to have some really lovely and interesting people sitting beside me on the planes!

I spent the first day with Ainslee and we had a real english pub lunch :) lol, straight into the english way of life :) I somehow managed to avoid getting jet lagged which was awesome ... my movie and coffee method seemed to work!!

The last couple of days have been full of catching up with people, going to the V&A, Natural History and Science museums and yesterday to a roller coaster park (0 - 80 mph in 2.3 seconds! awesome).... I was planning on renting a car and exploring around London but the weather didn't play along with that plan!

It's brilliant catching up with Jane and Mary again :) Loads of stories, laughs and we're off to explore London today :)

I remember why I'm not the biggest big city fan ... people everywhere, no one smiles, homeless people (who i just want to take home and help them - if they wanted it) but it is a different vibe and I can see how it would be exciting to live someplace big for a wee while :)

I miss everyone back home :) Hi :) Have a great day :) Lots of love xxoo

This one's for Jane :)


Ok so I don't have anything to update! But Jane's standing here tickling me and saying that if I really loved my mother I'd show her how the blog thing works!? So here we go, just like magic! And to think that I'll just be able to pop into internet cafes and upload a blog while I'm away :) Ow. lol :) Oh look you can put pictures on too :)

Thought of the day :)

Ok so running before 8am on a Sunday morning isn't the norm but it was such a gorgeous day today, I was awake, energetic and it was the perfect time to run and ponder the world :) Although I didn't see any other runners in the whole hour I was out!

Not working is such a different existance to what I imagined ..... it's been a big journey of self awareness :) It has meant that I've had to stop and look at my life and work out what is important and what I want to do .... I think that I've worked it out now and am looking forward to heading off and travelling through the Middle East but I'm also looking forward to coming back to NZ :)

The big question of the weekend is why we all find it so hard to tell everyone our honest feelings about situations, especially when we can see that we really should :) lol, just a thought of the day :)
