... single lane, aside from the motorways, are not labeled with speed limits, will merge suddenly from three lanes into one with no warning and as my co-worker eloquently put it, 'When the English don’t know what to do with a road, they put in a roundabout.’


It is difficult to feel like one has achieved anything in a day at the moment. The sun is not really up until 8am, so getting outo f bed takes a good long time, and by the time 3pm rolls around, it is already ...

So after 6 months away and visiting 8 different countries, we have now arrived, reluctantly, back in England. Although its not as cold as we were expecting, which is a bonus!

Granny and Grandad put these cases into the car and then put me in too. Off we go. Soon we arrive at this rather posh Pussycat Hotel. Yippee, I am off on my holidays.

From there we detoured to our very good friends, The Phillips, down in Southend; and played with the greatest kid the world has ever seen. From there it was a quick trip over the QE2 bridge into the land of milk and honey - Kent.

Our flight home was uneventful - our luggage appeared on the carousel without any hiccup (it was really an awful feeling when my case went AWOL at Hong Kong airport from Auckland, via Brisbane.
