For such a small country England is massive... absolutely every little town, every village is worthy of stopping into... I have on this occasion spent my time concentrated in the South... a seaside holiday if you like... and thoroughly enjoyed every day...
I walked into a store in Bath into the midst of an interesting conversation... The store owner and a customer were having a conversation that went something like this...
"Gosh its a beautiful day today... arent we so lucky to live here"...
Wat!!... am I hearing what I am hearing... Are you people mad... !!
I was kind of curious and had to interject... uhmmm... excuse me... why do you say its such a lovely day today?... its officially supposed to be an English Summer, but theres no sunshine, no blue skies and I am wearing a sweater...
Ahhh... the store keeper said... But its not raining and its not snowing, so this is a very good day for us... In
fact we think its a little muggy....
Ah... I see (I say)... well... I guess if you put it that way... Yes... it is a great day 😊... no rain, no snow... Hmm... (still think you guys are mad)...
They weren't so lucky the next day though because it was raining... but then, being the optimistic souls that they obviously were, I am sure they would have said it was still a great day, because it wasnt snowing...
I must say that I do love hanging about positive people...
There are of course many, many similiarities between England and Australia...
One thing I have come across that we English and Australian's have in common is that we all have extremely dull, uninventive and boring bakeries...
I'm talking the suburban versions here...
surely we can all move on from cream buns, apple turnovers, caramel slice, sausage rolls and meat pies... please... can we... soon...
London of course is a fabulous city...
This is actually my 3rd visit to London... previously I havent really fallen for it... this time however I have...
I only spent a few days, however I will be returning next month, so I will
at this point create another blog/photos for you just on this city...
Now... a further comment...
I have been on the road for nearly 12 mths now and some of you have expressed an interest in my lovelife... Funny that!
How's it going... have you met anyone special... etc... etc...
I have appreciated all your enquiries... 😊
Hmm... Well.... yes... its a few short days off 12 mths and in my time abroad from Oz... I have met a total of 1 whole person (can you believe that... surely I should have met more... but alas no... ) that has captured my attention...
I met him in India... yes... doing volunteer work for the Mother Theresa foundation (good Spanish soul that he was)... and yes... guess what... he was on his way to Oz... the place I have left...
Yay... have to laugh... 😊.. Oh well... thats the way it goes...
Ciao my loves... onto Wales now... x
