I'm baaack....

Apologies to one and all for the delay - I#ve been copping it for not posting for a few days. Heaps has happened and I only have twenty minutes at the moment so no dilly dallying around.

Last Wednesday was huuuuge. It was my last ful day in London so went down Regent St and Piccadilly for a 'quick stroll' in the morning, ended up walking through Green Park and saw a commotion on the other side which turned out to be Bucks Palace and the changing of the guard. Stood there like a fool with the camera and took pics wondering what the big deal with Libby is and also why I was taking part in it. Got over that and walked back to the apartment, then went to the Nat Archives/Public Records Office which was very impressive, ugly building but they have a couple of documents stored there in relation to the short history of Britain.

After Nat Arch the mother and I went to Kew Gardens which ws fantastic, we only had two hours before it shut so we power walked through the huge conservatories, past the (sorry Chris) many squirrels and through the millions of bulbs other meadowy british looking plant things.

I was a complete wreck and decided to prioritise my sanity and general well being over going down the road to post to the blog. Thursday morning went for a final wander through the city before heading up to Cambridge for the night. Some may know my distinct lack of ability to drive a manual car and I was a bit limited in types of cars available so it was either going to be a mercedes kompressor or some kind of family wagon thing. We rocked up to the hire place and the guy was showing me the ins and outs of some non descript medium size family car when (I am a very alert person) I pointed out that the car seemed to have a gear stick. He shitted hinmself for around 2 minutes - no other car available, then he turned a paler colour and said, 'we'll have to give you the Daimler' which turns out to be some $100,000 plus Jaguar that's as big and long as a road train. It was then my turn to go a little paler. One tiny scratch and around 450 miles later we have made it to York.

I'm out of time so will pick up from Cambridge tomorrow (you're all on holiday today anyway so it doesn't matter. Byeeeee!!!!
