Thanks for the loan of the family Z!

Hi everyone - hope you are all well. I am currently in Heathrow waiting to head off on the mountie hunt so before I leave I thought I would fill you in on what I have been up to for the last few days.

Amy and I had a lovely day on Friday going around Hyde Park and catchign up on what is going on at home and the places we have seen and what we liked etc etc. Made us feel very worldly and like we have actually travelled a bit!

Friday night Em, Phil and I headed off to Soho to a swiss restaurant for some fondue - in order to get the full experience we had to have cheese fondue first and then chocolate for dessert but consequently we all rolled back to the tube and fell asleep promptly upon arriving home!

Saturday morning I got up early and headed to the tram/train/train to get to Wokingham to stay with Zoe's folks. It was really fantastic catching up with them again and I even got to meet Z's big brother which was very cool. They took me down to Brighton to see the pier and George IV pavillion and then yesterday we went to Windsor castle which was really awesome - it looked like a 'proper' castle with turrets and a moat and I got to see where Charles and Camilla got married and had their blessing, as well as where the queen mum is buried as well as loads of other royals. I even got to see Sir Edmund Hilary's standard (and you all know how I love Ed!).

Anyway - London and Engaland both been fab and excited/nervous/tired/broke/excited about heading off to Canada finally. Will write to tell you of mountie hunting progress as soon as!

Missing everyone loads!
