It had been 2 years to almost the day since I had been back to the UK. And seeing as its such a flippin' long way awa, the fact I had a couple of weddings to cram in, as well as spreading m Grans ashes and various mates to catch up with I decided to make it a 6 week marathon!!!
The flight was long - and thats about all i have to say about that. Apart from somehow I managed to bring 30kg of stuff with me - in one bag!!! AND not get charged excess baggage!!! Wow!!! Anyway...
I arrived on a muggy hot afternoon in London and made for the Pi and Sians house, who kindly put me up for the night amongst the boxes and packaging following their recent move. Tufnell Park - nice area. And it wasn't long before we were off to the pub to sample some real beer. Then it was off to dinner and for me bed - I was shattered after the journey.
Sunday dawned and we were off to Hampstead Heath for a walk and a pub lunch in the sun. Fab. The UK hadn't seemed to have changed much. After a good chin wag I was on the train up to Leicester to see my folks. It was a suprise visit as I had arrived a day early!!!
Plans were then made to head to Cardiff.
I stayed at Tim and Ruths house. It was awesome to catch up with them, and everyone. It was like I had never been away!!! Everyone met at the Pen and Wig. It was a fab night!!!
Owen and Tits
The following day was spent recovering and then prepping for a BBQ.
Owen a little drunk and well done Hudman!!! Nice pants in both cases.
Fun and games ensued at the BBQ culminating in and incident involving cold spray, testicles and a video camera. Well done Stu!!!
It was a top weekend.
I then stayed with Jenna for a few days. It was amazing to see her agian. She has just bought a house so there were few things to be done - starting with the garden.
