Leaving London

In a couple of hours I'll be heading off to Cardiff to meet up with my cousin Phillip. I bought what's called a FunFare, which is basically just an e-ticket, so I print out the ticket here and fingers crossed everything goes well.

It's been great being in London, and the past couple of days I've been in Sutton, Surrey which is on the outskirts of London but still technically part of the Capital city. I guess Sutton is a little more suburban than where we were staying before in Clapham. It seems noticeably more laid back than in Clapham and strangely enough I felt a little better closer to the city, which is odd for me. At first I would have thought that I'd like a quieter, slower place but maybe I'm wrong. I'm still excited to see what Glasgow has to offer then I can make a good decision about where I'll stay for the next half year.

It's gradually getting colder here, which is great because I was verging on being too hot most of the time. Now I'll get to see if my clothes are warm enough or if I have to buy some more

I know I said I'd get some pictures up soon, but they're on Paul's laptop at the moment and I didn't want to fiddle around with the USB modem here, so I'll put them up the next chance I get. I went to Hever Castle the other day, in the county of Kent. It's a nice little place, and I do mean little. Not exactly a towering castle, Anne Bolyen lived there for some time before marrying Henry VIII and getting beheaded. Her life story is quite prominent there and they have lots of displays. More on that later though.
