England: Parte the Seconde

Today we went from Chester to a little place called Bramshall which is close to Uttoxeter if you want to find it on the Map. There I met Paul, Naomi and Kate. It was so surreal to see everyone together again after so long, especially since we are all still so similar even though so much time has passed.
We had lunch at a lovely little country pub and talked all afternoon. It was sad to say goodbye again, but I'm sure it won't be another 6 years before we all catch up again.
Tomorrow I am taking a train to London where I have the whole afternoon to shop till I drop. Yeehah!!!!
Then I am hopefully meeting Anthony on Saturday morning before catching the train to West Malling to visit Beryl and Michael. I am really looking foward to seeing them again. :)
I am having a fantastic time, and it has been great having the opportunity to travel around the north a little - thanks Anne!
I am looking foward to coming home though. I miss everyone heaps, and can't wait to get home and have some family cuddles.
I have discovered though that Singapore airport now has a pool on the roof. I think I will take my togs with me as a swim in between a 12 hour flight and a 9 hour flight sounds like a jolly good alternative to a shower. Then I hopefully won't smell when I get picked up from the airport!
Love you all loads (I would say love you 'heaps' but they say 'loads' here...)

P.S. In England they use realy cool long words on signs. One pub's slogan advertised it as a place for "Eating, Drinking and Cavorting" How cool is that? :)
