London Friends

It has been a blast coming to London and seeing old friends and checking out the place. Whilst sight-seeing has been good (Tate Modern, London Eye, British Museum, Portobello Markets etc) the real reason has been too catch up with people. Having gone to a party on Saturday, it was amazing how many Sydney-siders have made this journey over to London to do their thing. It made the concept of living here a lot easier to imagine for me.

There were a few special people that made this trip worthwhile, and I was glad to have spent some decent time with them in terms of outings, dinners, lunches and poker to see how their lives are now. I have to admit that I'm not that good with emails (2 months between replies is a fairly standard time period) so seeing them face-to-face was a real joy. It's also great to know that even without that regular contact, there are friends who will always have something to share, something to laugh about, something to remember.

Thanks to everyone I saw for making the effort to come out and taking time to see us. You've made me feel like I'm back home :) Please come and visit me in New York!
