Keep Calm and Carry On

Last day blues, London is gorgeous in the sun, long days and light late into the evening. Dusk at 9pm and drinking tea in covent garden until late listening to one of the many street artists.

The flight home is tonight, still, keep calm and carry on.

Friday night Soho is a buzz, loads happening and so many people adorning the street with their pint glasses in hand. Nicola never dissapoints when she sees this and treats me to her regular cry of "I can't believe they are drinking on the streets". It has been the small things that are the most obvious differences.

Late night food, cafes that are open beyond 8pm, a constant buzz on the streets and always something to do around the next corner. The flight to Brisbane will take two days and it won't be pleasent.

Still, keep calm and carry on.

After a month of travelling around Europe we have both learnt some things about whay we like Australia and also what we would do if we came to live in the UK. There is something very pleasent about the rugged country side of Derbyshire, the buzz of London, the history and culture of the place.

Brisbane, friends, family, jobs, future, work, fun, great weather and not being able to get a coffee on Sunday afternoon anywhere out of the city. There has been so mush to take in while we have been away.

This isn't the end of the blog but it is a farewell to the UK . I will be posting pictures in the next few days of our trip to Blackpool beach where Nicola saw the donkeys  plus other tasty treats from around London and the UK. So , thank you all for reading and to those of you who hhave been kind enough to drink a pint with me and have a laugh or two, I thank you all very much. It has been great seeing everyone and I hope to see you all again soon. To all of you back in OZ, perhaps we can have that pint and share some stories.

But , in the mean while...
