Apologies for the slight delay in my blog post for London, but it was quite hectic as soon as I returned from my trip. I flew from Heathrow to Singapore, spent one day in Singapore (packing and saying goodbye) and then flew back to the U.S. the following day. So, I have finally had the time to sit down and write about my trip! The trip itself was intended for my sister, Mica to audition for drama schools in the area. However, with no parent available to take her...I volunteered as tribute hehe. So, off we went to spend a week in lovely London.... It had been over a year since I had been back to the U.K. and of course, there are a few things you MUST do/see/eat while you're there. My top few are 1. A boots meal deal (it's the little things in life) 2. Chocolate (duh) and 3. Shopping! And let me tell you, I did more than enough of all of the above. My first day I reunited with one of my oldest best friends, Holly. We met in The Woodlands, Texas over 15 years ago and have kept in touch ever since. She now lives in London and is pursuing a career in Law. We spent the day together doing what we do best - eating, drinking and shopping. We walked the high street and enjoyed afternoon tea at The Berkeley (a must do tea in London!) Overall, it was a fantastic day of catching up and enjoying each others company - friends for life. The next day, Mica and I met with our Auntie Natalie, Granny Grace, and cousins Emily and Martha in London for lunch. They kindly made the commute from Cheltenham to see us. We had lunch at Bill's and chatted away!
Monday, Mica had her first audition in Chiswick. It just so happened that one of my best friends from Geneva lived there...so I went along and spent the day with Caitlin while Mica auditioned. Ella, our mutual friend from Simply Theatre (our theatre school in Geneva) met us as well and we spent hours catching up over lunch and too much Prosecco...lol
Safe to say this trip was FULL of reunions. It was great to see so many old friends faces after being apart for so long. It really shows how fast time flies and how so much can change in a few short years. Even years later and miles apart, it was great to be able to fall right back into the swing of things with all these people I've met all over the world. My heart is so full and I can't wait to reunite with many more of my friends in the near future - I hope!
