Well I've decided to go to London again on Monday. I owe a few people a visit. Also, it's London, so it's basically just fabulous. I've booked a hotel (omg!) as a bit of a splurge. I'm not sure what to make of it. What am I going to do with a coffeemaker? I mean, I can make grilled cheese sandwiches…

We ended up climbing all the stairs of the abbey (and I nearly died by falling/lung explosion one or two times) to the roof for amazing views of the city. Then we headed over to Bath Spa which is far less touristy and far cooler than I expected. I managed to get an illicit photo of my foot in… |

My friend Ziggy and I had made plans to take a trip to Bath but ended up missing the train due to my incurable Cornish pasty addiction. It hurts more than just you, kids! While my butter-and-meat grease-filled fix was being heated up, the train scooted right out of the station. We finally tuc… |

I woke up rather late this morning so I decided to leave Rothko to his colorblocks and head down to the pub to watch the football match. It was more fun than I expected to watch middle aged men brought to tears by a penalty kick. I managed to remain reserved, even with my past and very we… | |

This morning I woke up just in time to catch the end of breakfast. When you're paying in pounds sterling, you make the most of even the cheapest hostel stay. I made plans with Lou, a native Londoner who I met while living in Australia. She had just left Cardiff and was finally back in the… | |

After not sleeping on the plane at all, despite the delicious lie flat seats, I hopped on the train from Heathrow and made my way to the London Underground. As I was looking out the window at the foggy pre-dawn, it occured to me that England looked quite a bit like home. For some reason I… | |
