Nicole see's the Queen

Rumour had it the Queen was in Town. She was to visit Kew Gardens on Tuesday.

I work next door to the Gardens and have a year pass that Libby-my boss bought for me already.

So off we went to spot the Queen.

I was in a prime position and spotted her before she went into the building for tea and cake.
She looked just like my granny Mona. Or maybe my Granny Mona looks just like her-anyway those two can work that out between them.

6 Months and a Bank Holiday :)

Here we are at the Walkabout. There was about 500 people at this bar, its a Sunday Tradtion. All Kiwis and Aussies-and maybe some South Africans. You drink jugs of this purple stuff- Snake Bites. Its some mixture of cider,beer and blackcurrant. A great day-you head off there midday and it closes at about 11pm. It was a bank holiday (public holiday) on the Monday-Usually your ment to head off to work with a big hangover. I don't think we will be heading there again-only if we don't have work the next day.
But it was great to drink with the boys. We had a BBQ at their place before. A REAL London flat with people all over the place. Our home is a lot more civilised than their's, but it was a good time

A Jug of "snakey".

We are having dinner for our 6 months, We went to a show after this. It was ahem-average! But still a good time. We had cheap tickets. Check out ET. After this we walked around Leicester Square. SO SO SO many people! So Cool!!


This is our new addition. We bought it from Kew Gardens-he was a bit grubby so we got a discount. He's called Henry. This is me walking down our street.




Tea and scones at Kew gardens. This is where I come most days as i work next to the gardens. I can see into the gardens from the house. My boss Libby has bought me a year membership. Carl is going to get one too so we can go back whenever






The place was PACKED but this is a good shot. There were actually people all around us. We are having a picnic.

Here we are with Sara and Scott and Hollie and Catie. Catie and Hollie are Carl's friends from NZ and Sara and her BF Scott are my friends. Andy is in the red also Kiwi and lives at our house. Hollie doesnt live with us though.
We went to the pub after this at the top if our road.
Carl is working on the blog for the TV3 site. Hannah has asked him to write a weekly blog about his London Travels. Will let you know when it's up and running.
