The last few months in London were spent organising travel ventures, furiously booking flights and hostels, tying up loose ends and discussing the road ahead...
Oh, we did however manage to squeeze in visits to the much acclaimed Royal Ascot races (if you call trudging around in the general admin tent, still muddy and balancing your bag, drink, tickets and form guide highly regarded – then that was us). A super day, that aside. No winners.
Wimbledon was also an event high on our to-do list and although we were not hard core by camping out the night for tickets, we did arrive there at 6.00am and stood in line for 5 hours. Believe it or not but the time flew by (caffeine and some old backyard cricket with a wooden pale bat did help). What a great day, full of tradition, strawberries and cream, Pimms and oh, some fine tennis too. Great get to line up for ‘second hand’ tickets while in there too – Bernard Tomic will be a fine player!
We had such an amazing time in London, mixed experiences with teaching but overall a massive learning opportunity and were very grateful for the time we had. Always something to do, somewhere to go and fun to be had. Oh, and the charity store downstairs from us was also very grateful for pretty much all the possessions we had in our Autumn House pad... Now it is literally only the clothes on our back.
Bye London, been a pleasure and let the next 3 months begin....
