March is the 'in-deep' time for teachers in London. It's all heads down, bums up, mark-mark-mark so there isn't much happening in terms of social life. I did, however, save up to go and see a performance in the famous Shakespeare's Globe. It's an open top theatre where performers are basically doing their thing out in the elements. Although I wasn't complaining, almost typically, on the night of the performance, and for the two days before in fact, it snowed in London for the second time in six months. It was wet and cold and I loved it a little bit (or a lot depending on who you speak to). See our video (above) about how to appropriately move about in the London snow to save energy and make up time. Sadly, my working visa is coming to an end and I am joining the many hopeful Aussies returning home in the hopes of securing a sponsorship from my school. The application has not been passed so far and so my return ticket may have to become an open ticket with eyes on the future months.
Regardless, I wanted to say that my friends, travel buddies, co-workers and housemates have made my time in London memorable and I can never thank them enough! I have had so many adventures and experiences in London town that I never would have considered back home, some of which I never knew existed. My fingers are crossed that this is only see-you-soon and not goodbye for good. Love you all loads xxxx

I find it hard to believe that it is already November. I remember trekking around for fireworks in 2016 for Guy Fawkes night, and that the streets of London were exploding with noise and colour for weeks before and after- fireworks laws are much more lax in the UK than in Aus and it seems everyone wants to be part of the action, no matter how close to other houses! The time has come again for London's streets to light up and the noise isn't any less deafening than last year.
This month I spent a little less time travelling around and stayed close to home. Winter Wonderland has started up again- experienced via a tragic date involving bumper cars and a drunken teddy bear with more personality than my plus one :/ I experienced my first 4D screening- yes, I did get sprayed in the face with water and it is exceptionally hard to exit a moving cinema seat when you are about to pee yourself mid-movie. Even still, it was really good fun, would definitely recommend it and will hopefully get the chance to go again. I also got to go and see Le Miserables at the theatre. It made me cry as much this time as it did in year 11 when we went with school, I don't know why I thought it would be any different, tbh. In a bittersweet moment, we got to go eat upstairs at The Sherlock Holmes to say farewell to Miss Ruth, who, after two years is leaving us and heading home to Aus. Stupid visas! The theatre companies will miss you, but not as much as we will. Travel safe! xx Christmas is almost upon us and this year, there are big plans. HUGE! ;) I got to spend the sappy day at work and then spent the evening with two beautiful ladies watching the hilarious Kinky Boots in the city. Can easily say I haven't seen such a funny, glamorous show in a long, long time! The movie was pretty cool but they carried the costumes, voices and humour off in this stage show fantastically! If you ever travel to London Town, you most definitely should see their take on this awesome stage show. Thankyou ladies for having me along and enjoying a giggle. xx To all the couples out there, enjoy your special day but remember to love each other every other day too. To all the singles out there, enjoy your space and time. One day will come along, enjoy life until then! |
