We saw Billy Elliot Monday at  Victoria Palace Theatre, the musical was good. It was hilarious at some parts but I was definitely a little buzzed already when we were watching since I had a good amount of beers and rum beforehand and while the show was on. After the we finished watching the mu…

Last day. My stroller/wheeled bag was still broken and I have two huge and heavy bags to carry with me plus one more shoulder bag. I had to carry them all by myself. I was close to tears everytime I try to walk with them. I was hoping that the cab driver would help me carry them up to the coach sta…

Picked up my friend at 11.10am on Saturday morning and we headed off from Motherwell. Joined the motorway and I know for the next 1 hour it would be a constant 60mph…great!! We travelled over the Erskine Bridge which has great views by the way!...then started gradually heading north..   Th…

Part one- Hastings and Battle- East Sussex Today I have taken some photo's from the re-enactment of the famous Battle of Hastings- a two day event which takes part in October each year. I was perhaps surprised of how many people are interested in learning about history and I noticed visitors from N…

London is one of my favorite cities and I am lucky to have some great friends who live there.  In early July, 2009 I visited for a few days vacation.  The trip started off interestingly enough as we were getting ready to land in horrible weather.  As we were beginning our descent, we…

My last day in London. I had packed everything the day before, so when we got up, we ate breakfast, and then just sat around talking for a bit. When it was time to leave, I said goodbye to Jen (Kristy and Julie had already left for the city), then me, Heather and Sherron left. When we left, it hadn…

I supposed to be staying here in England until April, but because some stuff happened at work I'm going home next week. Next week around this time Stephanie and I will be on the ferry to Hook of Holland. From there it is only a 10 to 15 minute drive to my appartment in Vlaardingen.I kinda miss the …

Most of you that know me will agree, I'd rather make a thousand phone calls than to sit a type a hundred words so I'll keep this to just saying thanks to all those who came/helped & made it such a great night.The award for traveling the furthest has to got to Wayne, who traveled from Bangkok, although he was coming home anyway but still...good effort lad!

All of us woke up at the end of the morning, beginning of the afternoon... Craigo offered us bacon with egg sandwiches which were great! :D Finally, when everybody was ready after a few hours of course hehe, we made a walk outside to a restaurant where some of us ate the real English food, somethin…

Actually, it's not just any rainy day, it's a Thursday! Not that it matters- but it's not quite the weekend and you can't blame it on a Monday (my favorite pet hate day since school).Anyway, Antonella (who lives just nearby), came up with this brilliant idea: why don't we go out to a Salsa dancing …

Me and my friend, Jena, were off on a 4-day jaunt to Scotland recently.  Probably not the bits of Scotland that any normal, sane person would be inclined to go to, but Scotland nonetheless.  It was an entirely silly trip, but I've tried to avoid too much inside jokey-ness to this post.&nb…
