Season's Greetings
Hi All,
Well time sure is flying by, and Cam and I are completing all the final preparations for our safari in Africa. We leave in just a little over 2 weeks, and have about 50 million things to do! (believe it or not - this is more hectic than leaving Sydney - I suppose because we can't really leave any loose ends with our parents this time!)
We celebrated the holidays here in London in true antipodean backpacker style.
Christmas dinner was a casual affair at home with the flatmates:
Our beautifully dressed table (with real-genuine live wreath)
Starter Salad - Recipe by local chef Jamie Oliver
Lauren bastes the monster chicken (with pork stuffing!)
English trifle for puddings! (With an Italian twist - marscapone and panetone!)
And once we had all the food and festivities out of the way I decided to use Boxing day to visit the famous London January sales. So there I am about to walk into to Topshop when who do I see? None other than Natalie Rhame from high-school, and Uni!
I am begining to think that all these people from home are following me around the world on some weird mission set by my mother to monitor my every move.
New Year's Eve was spent at a local pub/club with the flatmates and a various assortment of people we have met around the world! And was followed by a fantastic New-Years-hangover-day traditional English fry-up!
And now, here I am, sitting in a mountain of duvet, on our lounge, nursing a very wonderfulittle stomach bug that had me up all last night with bodily fluids coming out of all possible exits. delightful.
Well thats all for now, I am still feeling quite queasy and I will be off to bed, but stay tuned formore exciting tales, such as "the adventures of the English doctors surgery" and "Inland Revenue - friend or foe"
Happy New Years all!
