Well, I won't bore you with discussion of how long it's been since I last blogged, as this is clear. But come on. I've been on holiday! My lovely sister and her husband came to visit, so we have been trekking about the country, visiting York, Cambridge, Scotland and hte Lake District. Here are the highlights for anyone planning on following in my footsteps:
1) Riding Clydesdale horses on the Lake Districts. Awesome.
2) The drive up to the Isle of Skye. Very beautiful, but take some car sickness tablets first. Up and down and round and round, the roads are mad.
3) Perth. The Scottish version. Small and quaint, and Scone Palace is pretty cool too.
4) York. Do the ghost trail. Do it! And walk on the walls. For some reason its a quicker way to get around.
5) Watching the firemen in Windemere "practice" but pumping water out of the lake, filling up the tanks then blasting the water back into the lake. Time well spent, boys.
6) FINALLY WATCHING THE HARRY POTTER MOVIE. But you could probably do that anywhere.
Anyway, then my sister was in London with me for a bit, so we went to the Kensington Roof Gardens and to the Polo (saw Prince Phillip) so it was all very fun. Thens he left, and I was quite sad.
I spent the last week working tirelessly on my dissertation (two thirds done!), hoping I can get the first draft out by Friday to my draft readers, but it'll be tricky as I am going to a wedding this weekend.... I can be typing during that right?
Then my partner in crime Judith left yesterday, which was sad. Who will I go to gay cabaret bars with now? I am bereft.
The face of London is changing for me. Hmm.
