London!

So, here comes the first of my Europe photos.... from my stay at Le Chateau Bermondsey!

As usual, many cups of tea were drunk, with lots of gossip (Kylie and I are going to make great old ladies some day!!) and a few little jaunts into town for good measure. Guus took me on a pinball tour of Soho (zooming through streets and shops and little shortcuts, pow pow) and out for yummy japanese, I got my dodgy iPod exchanged by the nice man at the HUGE Apple Store on Regent Street, picked up lots of goodies at Muji and Le Petit Bateau. I managed to finally find those shaggy hills boys in 'The Lock' in Camden (there are several 'Lock' pubs there.... well
organised boys!) and I had the pleasure of seeing 'Tango Siempre' - a band Kylie used to play with- at Pizza Express in Soho on my last night.












Bermondsey BBQ! Looooovly

All in all, a lovely weekend of catch ups and rain... all much needed relief from Cambodia!!

Kylie and Guus again let me stay with them, and provided me with house keys, bus tickets, a bed, hugs, family etc.... They are always there for me while I run around the world and for that I am very grateful.

A long way from Sassy Kinda!

The 'shaggy hills boys' as Kylie dubbed Alex, Jon and Nick! (Sorry everyone, Nick A was bouncing around to much to get a photo of him, but he was there, is fine Nick form as usual)

Mmmmmwwwwaaah! Happy Mother's Day Mums! On London Bridge!

Big people!

arrived in London this morning, two week holiday in London, SveRigE and Belgium yay yay!

was amazed by all the 'order' of the city as we flew in, everything in neat rows and specific sides of roads.... not what i am used to...

had a strange moment on the tube when I realised everyone looked so huge to me, especially women, I kept thinking 'my gosh, she's tall, big, over dressed' ..... took a moment to dawn on me that i haven't seen a mass of 'barang' in quite a while - we are fuNuY looking!

Kyles and Guus' little house is lovely, and you can see all the work are putting into it. But more about all that later..... time for me to get some sleep and try to stay warm (i'm frEeZing!!)
