Cheers mate

Hello loves! IT'S ME FROM MERRY OLDE ENGLAND!!!!

I've somehow managed to find a computer for a few moments, but I must apologize because in these few precious moments I have to write to you this post would probably double in size if this keyboard weren't so god damned fucked up, all the eff'ing letters in strange eff'ing places. WHO PUTS DOUBLE QUOTES ABOVE THE 2 I ASK OF YOU?!?!

Aside from the tomfoolery going down on this keyboard I'm having THE most fantastic time here. Contrary to what Welly says, every single day, no matter where I am, the sun is shining. The birds are chirping. The clouds are parting. And unfortunately this means I've been sunburnt on my face for a majority of the trip. I KNOW, RIGHT?! Don't worry, I will have lots and lots of unphotoshopped pictures to prove it.

So, in conclusion before I fly back on Sunday I will give you a brief rundown of the highlights of the trip thus far:

• Have spent an inordinate amount of time hot tubbing. Hot tubbing in the daytime (getting sunburnt), hot tubbing at nighttime under the stars, jacuzzi'ing in fabulous hotels. My skin has never been so soft and luuvely.
• Steve sooooooooooo needs to come visit this place, if only for the reason he would get to photograph castles. I spent a few days in Arundel, one of which was spent walking around castle grounds taking pictures of dried up motes, teeny tiny recreations of lords and ladies, and "Dreadful, ugly old" paintings (as one 70-something old man said to his wife). Ha, that made me laugh.
• Eating wayyyyyy too much food and loving every second of it. Fish 'n chips. Kebab. Ploughman lunches. Barbeque. Marmite. Mmmmmmmmm.... I would like to have a word with the person who thinks sweet popcorn is in. Because they've obviously never tasted MY popcorn and the English need to realize that buttery, salty popcorn should be rocking their world.
• Walking around every part of the country with my lovely assistant, spending much of the time barking orders at him like "Here, hold this lens. Give me my film, and make it quick cuz WE'RE GOING TO MISS THE LIGHT!!! MOVE MOVE MOVE!!!!!" I have taken quite a number of photographs and am heading off in mere moments to get a shot of a guard in front of the palace for my sister. Because I told her I would (I know, I'm nice like that :). Lots of great photos will be headed your way when I get back.

That's all for now - I miss you guys and will see you when I get home.

Kiss kiss,
