Wooo we are in East London and I am about to go and sunbathe in my friends gorgeous back garden. but first a catch up...
We ended up spending nearly a fortnight in Southampton. There were various things to do to the camper and we ebayed a load of items and had to wait for stuff to arrive in the post to fit to the van so we ended up loitering at Nick's parents house for ages! I must admit it was very relaxing, although I did find myself wondering what to do. I ended up going on little shopping trips and visiting the City art gallery which is free and actually really really good, they have Chris Ofili, Bridget Riley and even some Lowry there and it is a lovely vaulted building, very peaceful.
We have invested in a pair of electric bikes!! They are AMAZING. Mine is blue and Nick's is dark grey and they are very shiny. They strap to the back of the camper and are a much better idea than a scooter, which is what we originally were going to get. We took them for a ride around Southampton common and they go like the clappers! You just pedal gently and the engine pushes you along so there's no effort and then if you want a quick burst there is a throttle just like on a motorbike that you twist and whooooooom! Off you go. Brilliant fun. I think when we're in Europe going up and down the hills they will be a Godsend.
So we are staying in Loughton, near Epping Forest and Chigwell in Essex, East London. It's on the central line so we can pop into the city whenever we like which is great. Today we are chilling and recovering with slight hangovers and then tomorrow there are a couple of markets we're going to visit. And we are contemplating going to see Indiana Jones in Leicester Square. OK my batteries running out I've got to go!
