Pause to the travels

A well over-due update!

Canada? Nope... Not for now anyway.

I'm living in Bath and renting an apartment, to most of you - and to my own surprise - I must admit that I am actually starting to enjoy my time in England for the first time ever!!

The way it all happened was quite strange - the Universe was playing at something so I decided to change my plans and take a shot at playing the cards i had just been dealt... Y not?!?

A few lovely visits from some great friends and extra time with the family are just what the doctor ordered.

I'm making the most of my time here getting to know this country (which embarrassingly I must admit as an english person, it's amazing how little I do know about it - and it's not all quite as bad as I had always thought) - no, no, no, that doesn't mean that I will be digging my heels in and deciding to settle here, it's not that nice...

Quite a few week-end trips to London, met up with NZ Timmy which was great, Steph came for a w/e, then Chloe, also in touch with Marc (Batty) and look forward to getting back in touch with quite a few ppl dotted around the country. Getting to know my lovely cousins and being close to Mum, Dad and bros.

Anyhow, I hope you are all in good health and would love to hear from you, and promise to answer with an individual email!!

I hope that wherever you are, the sun is shining or the snow is falling and wish you a wonderful Christmas packed with love and joy and hope that 2007 brings you all that you wish for!

All my love, miss you all tons,
Sas x

British museum 2
It's real...

Outside the British Museum, London
It's free and it is sooo worth a visit, even just to see the building itself is so majestic, packed full with so many interesting pieces of art (and bodies...) from all over the world.

Kew gardens
Dad n Debbs, ice-skating, had a really good laugh!
