Outside waiting for the taxi...
Sitting waiting for the train (outside the gates) with all our bags...
And we are off...
So for those of you who don't now we are back in London we arrived here on Tuesday with mounds of baggage (two (big) backpacks, two suitcases,LPs cricket bag,a giant blue Ikea bag and our laptop don't judge we just moved our entire lives from Truro to London they are five hours away from each other)... but as usual I'm getting ahead of myself....
the last few weeks we have spent editing our thousands upon thousands of photos, packing up all our worldly belongings and of course spending time with family and friends that's you all caught up on our lives from when we got back until last Tuesday....
I'm gonna set the scene here.... its Tuesday morning Leigh is up before 10am for the first time in weeks we have huge amounts of luggage and we arrive at Truro train station in a taxi...when we get there we find that annoyingly they have built a huge barrier around the platform so only travellers can get onto it we also find that the train has changed time...no wait we just always had the wrong time so have to wait a further 20Min's....so we sit just off the platform chatting away until its time to make our move the train was quite busy so we had to hurry on and get space for all our luggage luckily our carriage was full but everyone just seemed to have small bags so we could fill up the luggage rack all by ourselves so the next five hours go by and hey presto we are in London...where we decided to taxi to our accommodation rather then lug all our shite on the tube the good news was it was our first ever ride in a black cab in London the bad news was it almost bankrupted us as we got stuck in traffic...oh dear... well anyway that was the excitement that was travelling to London now what have we been doing since then???....
Well...Leigh got himself a job and starts on Tuesday, i have started to apply for jobs (that i don't really want as in reality i just want to be a permanent traveller forever!), we have spent time in the sunshine, got frozen yoghurt, shopped at Waitrose our local (budget breaker!!!), we got LP some new Jandals and us both new sunglasses, we have written lists, lists and more lists and crossed off a few things but mostly added more, we have made discs of all our photos to send to peeps in NZ, we have unpacked and repacked and then unpacked again followed by one more repack (to try and get stuff out of the way), we have looked online at somewhere more permanent to live, we have looked at new cellphones (since the 4 on mine refuses to work do you know how hard it is to send a text without the letters G,H and I in it? if i have to write Leigh I'm screwed!) and we have spent ALOT of time on FB and watching the IPL (Leigh is in heaven with the sports news channel) and now LP has just applied for us to get tickets to be part of the audience for The Rob Brydon show, QI and A league of their own....well that was a wee catch up on our lives now i better head off and do something productive...PEACE....
