london day two... SNOW!!

today we woke up early- grey sky was looming ahead....we ordered tea and coffee from room service and just as the door clicked shut, i looked out the window to see SNOW!! i leaped out of bed and screamed ' its snowing' at which point shar hurdled over to the window and we both started jumping up and down and screaming 'its snowing its snowing!!!!' hahaha

we got so excited that we bundled up over our pjs and went out for a walk just to be in it!!! it was so nice- it has been a really long time ( years) since i have seen snow fall - i have seen snow a few times but never been in it while its falling and it was really cool:)

so then it was off to kent! some family friends from singapore live in leigh (pronounced LIE) , a village in Kent and we were going to go to lunch at a pub with them. so we took a cab to the train station ( a whopping 15 pounds- jesus. how do people live here??) then took the train out about thirty minutes to hildenburough (or something:)

went to their incredible english country side home and then to an old pub actually called 'leiceister arms' i swear- isnt that the name of something in 'little britain' ? it just sounds made up! haha

yummy lunch and some shandys and pints! nothing like drinking a sunday afternoon away:)

due to some pretty serious jetlag and shar's coming down with something we had quite an early night in the cozy hotel- me on my second rate cot and shar and steve snoring it up in their lush bed! haha;)
