What it feels like being back in England

We've been back for a week and a half now and have been rushing around madly. For those of you who were concerned about me looking skinny, fear no longer, I have probably put on 5kg's since my return.

After a medley of London braai's, Jackie, Rob and myself set off in a hired car to visit friends in Shropshire where I rapidly renewed my affections for Welsh lamb and warm beers. Bristol and Bath came next and from there we joined friends made in South America and shared a trio of spicy Indian dishes at a Hertford curry house. Saving the best for last we pulled into the Cotswolds and enjoyed 2 peaceful days in a part of England we absolutely adore. So far, so good, but I'll have to admit that I've had 'always look on the bright side of life' playing on repeat on my built-in Ipod.
