More of Prague & onto more of the UK....

I have just figured out yet another way to post photos to the one and only El Grande, and therefore decided to give it a whirl to see whether this (much more sober) round makes a bit of a difference.

So this is us in Prague again, seems like ages ago but it was only about 6 weeks, awesome city, a little chilly, no snow but white was soon upon us!







So after we returned from Prague, the weather started to become a little more depresing, apparently the warmest weather in the UK for years, but after South America it all seems a little....shit.

I was glad to awake one morning however and find our local park and area covered in a little white powder you would not find back in South America. It was my first sober morning that I almost fell on my arse getting to work, i did one of those how's it going cartoon slipe and lide, running on the spot actions in the park whilst trying to take photos! Everyone else on their way to work thought that it was hysterical.....




What was even crazier but, was that the following weekend we hit St James' park in the sunshine





But last weekend we escaped the city once again for Catherine's (Emily, Lil's best friend's sister) & Harry's wedding in Cornwall. The wedding was in a small town called Goran Haven with an amazing church, beach and bakery. The reception was in another small town nearby called St Moor's, another picturesque spot, made us both realise why we are here slugging away in London. We love the nighlife here, but had a great time in the laid back country, drinking plenty of wine and eating plenty more Cornish Pasties!

We stayed in a B&B on the first evening where a enormous dog also hung out, we spent the afternoon walking around the town and the evening at the local pub. The wedding was the next day, in the quantest church that I have ever seen, with pre-reception drinks in Harry's Grandmother's cottage next door.

We then drove to our new amazing abode in St Moor's, continued the post wedding drinking followed by an amazing dinner and night where Harry and his family sung and entertained. You can check out Harry's Bands web page called Kubb @ www.kubbmusic.co.uk very cool music. The guys are just getting another album together so look out for it, no doubt I will let you know when and where you can find out more....







The following day we headed home via these crazy bubbles that were built into some cliffs and filled with rainforest action. They were quit cool but not as amazing as I expected. Poor Chris (Catherine & Emily's brother) was still suffering majorly from the night before. I did enjoy the break in the drive, but not sure it was worth it after listening to Chris once we had gotten back in the car and driving 40 miles in the wrong direction. Funnily none of us noticed until we crossed a bridge and saw above us a sign stating 'Welcome to Cornwall'.



The next evening we headed over to Catherine's house to have diner with Em before she headed off to India to meet up with her boyfriend. Lil and I are taking it easy for the time being, our next trip is to Paris for the weekend. Not sure where we will be heading from there, looks like Amsterdam for Easter before I swing home to Adelaide via Melbourne for Big Red's Wedding in April.

Looking forward to a couple of huge weekends, some sun & most importantly some Coopers that doesn't cost me $30 a sixer!
