Our time is up? So soon? June 2012

We wore our English 'hats' and tourist 'hats' this month in a mad dash effort to squeeze in as many experiences as possible in our last month of living in the motherland.

There was the Polo in the Park where we enjoyed Pimms and cocktails in the sunshine. Oh and some polo too.

We had to fit in with all the other half tanked Aussies carrying arround pineapples!

An 'adults only' trip to the London Zoo-that's right-no children!  I think the place was full of teachers who could finally enjoy being at a zoo with friends rather than on school excursions.

Only party animals in sight-food and drink a plenty!

A trip down the Thames to Greenwich to explore the Cutty Sark-the last surviving tea clipper and fastest and greatest of her time according to Royal Museums Greenwich-it was pretty impressive!

Use those guns!

Exploring yet another Sir Christopher Wren designed building-The Monument-climbing all 311 steps to get some great, but windy views of London.  The best part (after the views) was the certificate we received on our way out!

We had a little taste of country England too, taking a trip to Lavenham, a historic wool town in Suffolk.  On any normal day you would expect the village to be sleepy and quiet, however we just happened to turn up the on the day of the VW convention-the place was heaving with Beetles and Combies!

And finally, we farwelled our oh so conviently situated living quarters, packed a bag each of Summer, holiday clothes and shipped off all other possessions in some suitcases bound for Sydney.  So long London, love you long time x

Our street in Hammersmith-the trees finally getting their leaves back!
