So my trip is almost coming to an end, 3 weeks seems like an awfully short time when you are having fun!

I thought it'd seem like a longgggg break, I guess life in KL is too hectic sometimes - it's a good feeling to have nothing to do, to be away from the Internet and have nowhere to rush to.

It's so much more relaxing driving here as everyone is so civilized, thankfully the weather has been pretty nice too.

Been down to Minehead in Somerset for some seaside and awesome food cooked by my aunt, been up Malvern Hills, been up to Birmingham a couple of times (not my favourite place), been up to Liverpool and even further up to Blackpool!

Had a pretty varied trip really, seen a good portion of UK.

I'm not looking forwards to the 20 odd hour flight back...leaving here on 26th afternoon and reaching back on 27th afternoon!

Emirates service has definitely gone down, the movies are on demand though and you still have a personal screen which is bigger, the food is still pretty good but the service is gone, they hardly bring drinks around, the stewardesses seem to not want to serve you, you can press the service bell and get no response.

Will pop down to Worcester town to get some stuff this afternoon, it's weird getting used to the fact that the shops close at 5.30pm - can't imagine how I managed with that when I lived here.

Sometimes England seems so backwards.

I've had a great time though, wish I had another couple of weeks to catch a premiership match, head to the lake district, maybe over to Dublin too.

So many things I want to see still, lots of Europe I haven't seen either. Oh well plenty more years to go, just have to save up the moolah.

Back to KL soon though, back to work, back to Starbucks, back to parties, back to lots of sweating.

Ah the great English weather is back...I'm stuck in the house again.

Had a light dinner after so much heavy eating, some parma ham draped over a melon, some pork pie and carrot/cucumber with houmous and taramasalata.

Topped off with a beautiful meringue pudding, fresh cream and oodles of strawberries.

I went to see my decrepid old gran, who's reaching 100 soon..

We took her to the Garden center for lunch, it's quite nice there.

English weather still get's me though, if you sit in the shade, and there's a breeze you need to put a jacket on..but if you move out into the sun you break into a sweat.

Crazy.

This is my Gran's street.
