What have we been doing?

Wow we have just been so busy working working working for the past three months that I haven't had a second to blog.

That's a big fat lie.

We've been in Europe for more than three months now and the time has just flown. I took a break from the blog because a) I wanted a break from it, and b) I kind of lost the flow. But I'm back now, look out!

Here's a rough rundown of what we've done in our time here since November (!):

* spent a lot of time just hanging in London with Angus, Chris, Mon, Karla, Chris, Magda and new friends.

* spent a lot of time feeling uncomfortably cold.

* saw lots of snow in lots of places. Slipped over in it lots of times.

* went to Brighton (3 times!), Oxford, Aylesbury, Gloucester, Bristol, Godalming, Rye, Cornwall, Devon, Glastonbury...and a few other towns to visit friends, rellies, or just to have a look-see.

* France! The francofile returned to his place of birth, and I met him there two weeks later. The highlight so far.

* I did some temp work zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz and half-heartedly looked for 'proper work'.

* gigs, markets, gigs, markets, museums, gardens, sights.

* indulged at Christmas with a little family of friends away from home.

* fun New Years (with Mon fresh off the boat woohoo). Partied.

* got homesick.

* got a bit pasty and soft.

* tried not to spend all our money. This place is expensive!

* baked! We just spend two weeks house-sitting Chris and Magda's basement flat in Islington and went into mega domestic mode. Stef the baker of bread re-emerged after a travel-induced hiatus. He was very welcome. His bread is awesome.

* wondered what we should do next!

So that gives you an idea of how we've spent one of the coldest winters in years in London. Next I would like some sun please.
