The blog’s had a bit of a break and so have I. In June I took a trip back to the UK which explains much of my absence. I was disproportionately nervous on the plane as we came into land but unsurprisingly Heathrow hasn’t changed and apart from a couple of new pound shops London was much the same as I’d left it. Pretty good though!
The trip was arranged in order that I could take in two rather special weddings. They were equally amazing and worth the journey ten times over.
The Betts's with Amazing Cakes
The Harris's Dancing the Night Away
I managed to squeeze in lots of things I had missed. On the first night I scampered up Primrose Hill to take in my favourite view of London, then got ice cream from Marine Ices in Chalk Farm to celebrate. I had an amazing English themed buffet complete with miniatures roast dinners and an incredible trifle lovingly created by The Rats.
Craig and his Masterpiece
I spent an entire day drinking tea (English style) and putting the world to rights, ate Japanese food with my number one lunch buddy and had a gorgeous weekend in Llangynidr in the Brecon Beacons with the fam.
We May Have Been a Little Lost
I visited my pre-Kenya colleagues, spent a disproportionate amount of time at the Westfield Centre and went on an allotment adventure in Bristol.
Lex on Her Shamba
Most of all I enjoyed the company of great friends; it was a great trip. Going back to the UK made me remember some of the amazing things about life in Kenya so after a couple of weeks I was excited to get back to Kenya and get stuck back into work and adventures here.
