well the bags are packed and were waiting to go. This will be our journal to anyone sad enough to want to follow us as we gingerly make our way to foreign soil. We woud like to say here and now, we intend to show off, big up, overexude, and generally try to piss off as many peolpe as possible while sunning ourselves, drinking to excess and being an obnoxsoius nuisence to anyone who is not Anglo Saxon,and that's just Dionne! Also, I can't see a spell check and Magna Carta secondary seems a long time ago. If we can be bothered we will post our second blog in Hong Kong. Pete couldnt fly us down (thank god) so we should get there!!... read more

This has to have been the most drunken leaving party. I met up in the evening with friends from Wokingham and I can just about remember most of it. I started the night by meeting friends in The Tavern. It's a nice petite bar, long, thin and sometimes a little claustrophobic but with a nice garden area.

Mostly I remember my friends pulling silly faces for the camera and discussing my travel plans with ... read more

After my 5 weeks course I think I may just do a bit of touring on foot across the French countryside. Everyone is welcome to join of course. So will keep you updated on all exciting events. Am very excited.... read more
