Happy to be Home....

After a whirlwind few months we found ourselves back in the UK on the 28th of July. To be honest it was great to see the family again, it felt like we'd only left them the week before even though we'd been away for three months. After a few days Rest and Relaxation Priya and I were back travelling. My brother was due to get married a week after we'd arrived back in the UK, which meant plenty of time to take it easy...not exactly. The wedding was in Angles sur L'anglin which was a two and a half day drive to get to, at a very leisurely pace mind. The wedding itself was absolutely wonderful. Most of the extended families Brown and Bruce were there, with many other familes linked to those two, as well as numerous friends of the bride and groom. It was a fantstic three day affair, with quality food, drink, music, socialising, beautiful scenery and near-perfect weather. Overall, two thumbs definately up.

With the wedding done and dusted we had a week left in Basingstoke. This time was spent amongst family and friends, and getting pre-travel essentials like visa's, insurance, and kit sorted for part two. On the Saturday night before our Departure Tim headed into London to meet up with some friends and have a few birthday drinks. Thank you to anybody that was there, and many thanks for reminding me what it feels like to wake up a year older whilst feeling at least five years older at the same time. The following day we had to bid farewell to families once more and embark upon part two of our journey. Unfortunately due to the heightened security measures at Heathrow we had to arrive at the airport four hours before we were due to take off. We managed this, and we managed to get through security with time to spare, just enough time for a few pints. Nice! We had a great time being back and it was arguably harder to leave this time than the first. Anyhow, Back to Singapore...
