20050428 Settling Down

Hi All,

Wow it has been over a week since our last update and a lot has happened since. Last weekend we popped off down the road to Windsor to go and see the Windsor Castle, the oldest working castle in the world if I am not mistaken. Windsor is set right alongside the Thames, and is a very bustling little place. The Queen was in, indicated by her Royal flag flying, and as luck would have it, we got to see her. The Aston Martin club was doing a charity event at the palace, which the Queen gave her Royal treatment.

The Castle itself is so full of history it really humbles one. It dates back to the 1400’s, or something as unbelievable as that and when you start thinking about the people who must have walked the same passages as you, it is really awesome.

Yesterday was my Birthday, getting old I am now 27 -Thanks for the Birthday wishes you all sent me, I really appreciate it! I had a great day, got lots of presents and was spoilt rotten! Gwyn even got me a Personalised Thornton’s Birthday cake, amazingly yummy. We went “down the pub” at Putney Bridge, not far from where we are currently staying, with a view over the Thames, and said a big “Cheers” to all of you guys back home thinking about us!

The job hunting is going well and I have some really nice companies which I am getting interviews with, so if all goes well I will soon be out of the relaxed holiday mode and focused on work, actually looking forward to getting stuck into some work.

Some more exciting news from back home is that Nick and Michelle’s have set the date for their Big Day, the 18th of March 2006, enjoy the preparations, and see you all then!

Keep Well – L&G
