UK week 1











Hi guys, hope schools going well for you all. Have been thinking of you all. Arrived in London at 6am after 30 something hours of travelling, Ali picked me up and then had a walking tour around parts of London...don't really know how I made it through the day. Then we were off to Scotland the next day...checked out Edinburgh & the royal mile...such a pretty place. On the Friday we did the loch ness hunter tour...a 13hour day trip up in the highlands. The weather was pretty awesome...very crisp but sunny. The bus driver was really funny..had heaps of great stories to tell... he kept us entertained the whole time. The Loch ness was really beautiful but didn't see Nessie=(. On the Saturday we checked out the new town in Edinburgh...and then back to London. I have been busy ever since sorting things out...trying to work out how to get around...its so fast and busy. I may be starting work this week...scary, but will be good to get some money=)

    Well you're not missing out on too much here at WHS, infact it has been the most hectic start I have ever encountered. Week 4 and still no computers in the art dept. EEK!!!! Otherthan that all is good. Deck is built and got wicked wallpaper in my hallway. Yeah... All is good here with the whanau but not quite the same with you not here. Looking forward to the 'ADVENTURES OF DI'.....

  6. Hi Graham, haha yes...I blame it on the stress of leaving...I was not a happy camper that day/week. Thanks for that Graham...I found a job which is in Essex..so will see how that goes (not sure yet if I will be able to do it unless I move as it will take 2hours to get there) Job hunting is full on..Miss the chocolate sharing=)
