I have decided to go back to London and go and see some of the touristy sights that I haven\'t seen since I went when I was 15 with my paternal grandparents on my first visit to the UK. I bought a 3-day "London Pass" which entitles me to unlimited travel in all six zones plus free entry to most attractions. I have a list and I hope to do and see as much as I can in the three days and then do more with my cousin Will and his family on the weekend. I will stay with them which will be lovely as I adore them all and have really enjoyed getting to know them all better.
After six visits to the post office in three days, I finally got all the i\'s dotted and t\'s crossed on my passport application and sent it on its way. In approximately six weeks\' time, I will officially be able to prove my citizenship and can live and work anywhere in the EU should I choose to do so. Or just travel freely for as long as I want. Nice to have options! I will need to go to an interview so they can verify that I am who I say I am, and then it will be official. God willing.
I now understand why the British always talk about the weather. It can change by the hour and can be very extreme. We\'ve been enjoying a week or so of sunny, clear, and cold days which I have taken full advantage of byspending as much time outdoors as I can. I went on a 20km walk with a friend of my aunts named Foxy (she is as fabulous as her name!) and another woman named Sonia. Today I helped my uncle collect wood from a friends place who had cut down a eucalyptus tree which we split and stacked for the rest of the afternoon. It was fun!
Off to bed, next post from London.
