New Flying Horse Inn Ashford

I'm not quite sure how to begin. Yes, I do. I LOVE London.

It seemed that every time I wanted to go, something came up. It happened again last week. I meant to get up early and head up (I had heard that Greenpeace was on the roof of Parliament). My alarm didn't go off, and I woke up just when I should have been catching the bus. I rushed around, only to have one thing and then another hold me ...

It's 4.15 and guess who can't sleep? Woke up at 4 in a bit of a panic after only going to bed at midnight because packing took so long. Ended up taking about half of my stuff out of my rucksack (mainly clothes) but I'm sure I'll get by. It hasn't actually hit me still that we are going, or how much I am going to miss even just hot showers and being in my bed, seeing my parents everyday etc, let alone how much I am going to miss all my people ...

... with more US students and British friends. I loved every minute.

New Experience #5: Learning to sleep through all-night student festivities, a booming metal gate to the parking garage right under my apartment, arriving train travelers, and rock-and-roll loving cabbies.

New Experience #6: Walking.

New Experience #7: Watching the interaction between ...

today i was left behind with daddy - mummy had a work thing.

The day started off really well - managed a lie-in - first time in 4 months!! the she-devil normally drags me out of bed to force feed me at some ungodly hour - in fact its generally still DARK!!

So after a lazy start i was ready, around 11h00 for boob food. She'd left ...

... home made arcade games, many of which were very amusing and taking the **** out of all sorts of things - old people, artists,the superstitious.

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.

... see. European cars, American cars and even some custom hybrid cars. The American cars are fun to see with the steering wheel on the correct side and the big loud engines. After walking around looking at the cars we then continued our walk around town. On our way through town we walked by a bakery to find a very classy black and hot pick birthday cake in the window that had a Playboy Bunny on it. Right next to a Hannah ...

... br>...arriving at Heathrow from Singapore, I didn't want my fun to end, so in the car home myself and Helly hatched a plan. We would tour the British Isles on a whim. No plan, no real ideas, just throw the bikes and tent in the car and go, just see the country we had grown up in.

This is the story of that idea...

... However, I will say that the prepared foods in this country are amazing. They had pre-cooked rice!! We picked up some prepared pastas that were yummy. I can see myself growing in size if I don't watch myself. We have also been to our local grocery, Waitrose, and I find that place much more enjoyable. From Tesco we popped into Argo's. Think Service Merchandise. A room full of catalogs, you write down the ...

... dressed in blue masks, perform an array of acts using their amazing sense of rhythm and beat. Of all the shows to date, this show rates highest in their ability to capitalise on audience interaction. The conclusion was most impressive with reams of toilet paper being rushed through from the back of the theatre to the front. The use of percussion was awesome. I left the theatre in awe and in need of another show! Attending the ...

... went to a small but magnificent castle of Bodiam, then to Dover, Stonehenge, Bath, Brighton and to London (twice). The lessons were in the mornings, so I would spend the entire afternoons strolling in the old town, searching for some old albums about Great Britain, chatting with people and learning. It was a great, totally carefree time. I'm thinking of repeating the same thing with French in France and/or Spanish in Spain.
