Our new flat - no not the whole house just the bottom flat

our street!

Edinburgh!

Last weekend we went to Glasgow to visit my Granny Cranney who was visiting from NZ. It was an extremelly early start on Friday morning with us having to get the first tube at 5.30am in the morning for a flight that left at 8.30am. It takes 2 hours from our house to get to Standsted airport. Again it was me who booked the tickets, and again it was me who didnt consider that we only live 20 mins away from Heathrow!!! Granny and my great auntys and uncle alec spoiled us with tea, cookies and a really nice lunch at the restaurant (oh by the way dad you paid for it ;) ). Then we met up with my cousin Mark who let us stay on his floor for the few nights we were up there.
On saturday we caught the train to Edinburgh which was only 45 mins and my god was I blown away. I was seriously jumping up and down with excitement when we arrived and then walking up and seeing th castle and hearing the bagpipes playing - WOW! Scotland was absolutley amazing. I want to move there tomorrow! And the air was breathable - and I had normal snot!

Mark and his girlfriend Christine (from Belfast - I couldnt understand a word that either of them said!) showed us the sights and then took us our for a night in Glasgow. On Sunday I met up with another cousin of mine Marcella before having to jet off back to London again.

The last few weeks at work have been going really well. My 'training' period of becoming a consultant is coming very quickly to an end and i am starting to interview people so will be hopefully starting to make a few ££'s soon for travel later in the year. Zane booked tickets for us to go to Munich in 3 weeks time - it was £220 for 4 nights 5 days at a 4 star hotel sooooooooooo cheap!! And I get to see Neuschwanstein!!!!! (the castle that the disney castle was designed from)

And i am (sad as it sounds) counting down the weeks until Mum gets over here on her holiday for the rugby world cup). She is coming over in September so we will be heading to France to see her and her partner when they are not at the rugby (lucky buggers!).
