In fact, while we were there, P&P made the front page of the Financial Times and Channel4 news with the very exciting development in the campaign against the Royal Bank of Scotland's funding of human-right violating fossil fuel extraction projects. After a few years of keeping up the pressure, it has finally come to this crucial point in which P&P, alongside World ...

... major tourist attractions. Thier is a Giant subway connected to the South Kingsington tube station that connects the Natural Sciences mueseum, V&A Museum and the Science Mueseum.

... what that awful stench is in an Irish Pub just look for people who have been there a while and are holding a pint of Guinness - now imagine a whole pub full of people who have been there for hours and hours on St Paddy's day!!!! I'm getting to add some photos - bloody interviews keep getting in the way! If you've got facebook you can go to my profile and see the 'Photos of me' that other people have uploaded - unfortunately there are some that I probably should have deleted on their cameras...

Hello again, after a little bit of silence during the time I was at home in London. But, as far as I understand, this is supposed to be a travelogue, not a home journal, so I suppose inspiration was sort of lacking when I was confortably sitting on my couch watching The Aviator and sipping Roiboos tea, you see...

... same if we had arrived back and it hadn't been drizzling! Our luggage was amazingly the first off the plane and as we came out of customs mum and dad were right at the front to meet us - Sarah had even managed to get the day off work as well. It was so good to see them - there was quite a bit of squealing from the girls but amazingly ...
