Yer its still bloody cold in London & I’m still bustin the boardies n pluggers (you’d be proud dad!) First night stayed with the b.g’s & went round sampling some of Hammersmiths finest pubs. The next day was a nice sunny 1, athoungh still chilly. So I checked out London bridge, a walk along the thames river to big ben & Parliament house. That nite I was havin a beer with ned & rich & catchin up with amy in a local pub & we noticed that it was starting to get rammed. So I inquired what was goin on & it turned out that wolfmother (aussie band ) where playin next door at the apollo. So we waited till 9 & went and got some half priced scalpa tix (10 quid tix, nice one) ! ... read more

Hi all, So, its the final day, literally, we fly out at 7pm tonight. So I thought you might all want to know what we've been doing for the last week. Last time I wrote, we were in Cambridge on our first night. So, the following morning (monday 4th Dec for those of you following at home), we did the usual morning routine, breakfast and headed out to see the sights of Cambridge. We headed straight for Kings College Chapel again, although this time we actually went inside. Its absolutely gorgeous, and we really enjoyed it. It has amazing accoustics, so it would have been awesome to hear them sing there, but it wasn't meant to be. The vaulted ceiling is huge, and the stained glass was beautiful. There is lots on information about the history ... read more

Hi All, This is just a very quick update on our lives in London at the moment. Well.... we found a place to live.... HOORAY HOORAY!!!! We will be living in Hammersmith, approximately 10 minutes walk from the Hammersmith tube and about 15 minutes walk from Dean's place (where we are staying at the moment). We move into our place on Tuesday 31st October, 2006 (the day before my birthday). Our new home is a 4 bedroom flat with 2 bathrooms (one on each floor), lounge room with glass doors opening out into a back patio with BBQ, kitchen etc. It also has a fold out bed for anyone that would like to come over and stay for a bit (wink wink!!!). We are both soooo excited. It will be great to finally unpack all of ... read more

After two weeks away in Europe with Mum and Liani visiting her family in South Africa, and one week in a small below ground studio in Wilsden Green, we finally moved in to our new flat in Hammersmith! Initially when I first saw this place I wasn't at all taken by it. There was way too much green carpet for my liking and I thought it felt small. Ummm, dont really know who that person was, because I now love our flat! The day we moved in the removalists bought all our boxes and Luke and Carmel arrived from their two month European trip on their way the next day back home to Aus! It was quiet hectic to say the least. We unpacked as much as we could and enjoyed our last family meal before ... read more
