Missing London

A couple of weekends ago we made a trip to London. We had forgotten how much we missed it.

We made the 4 1/2 hour drive for a few reasons, the first is one I am sure you all know already...the bike! It was delievered to Matt's work's office just out of London so he took the opportunity to do some work at the office, almost bursting with the knowledge that his bike was in an unopened box! I spent the day doing some dance classes which was just fantastic...(I am yet to find a dance studio in Manchester).
That afternoon I met up with Matt Mackay & Lou who are travelling and happened to be in the UK that weekend, (the other reason we went to London) and later that night met up with Hadley and Jess White!! Yay!
The night was still young when we left everyone, so Matt and I went to a club in Camden where one of the IT guys from Matt's work was DJing - go figure?! He was excellent and it was a fun night; albeit late. We made it back to Tim's house (friend from Evans), to sleep the night, and found that he wasn't home either, so we chatted with his flat mates into the wee hours of the morning.
Matt had a fantastic time on Saturday, hanging out with the guys in the Evans workshop tinkering with the new member of our family, while I strolled around all my favourite parts of London and met up with Lou and Matt again. The party continued when Matt and I met up with the Evans boys that night visiting the good 'ol local - "The White Hart" - happy memories.
Sunday..a beautiful day with Matt and Lou - hi guys!! What a pleasure to spend time with two amazing people in our old home, just before they go off to Kenya!
It certainly was a jam-packed weekend filled with so many good times, friends, and bikes and dance classes!
