July 8, 201016 yr And duck ponds :inquisitive: :laugh3: But not as good as the ones in Kent. I find revenge a dish served best at pond-temperature :sneaky: :P :laugh3::laugh3:NANCY WATCH OUT!
July 8, 201016 yr :laugh3::laugh3:NANCY WATCH OUT! Aw, she avoided my attempts to get her wet :cry: But, there is still a chance at the picnic!! :D Six of the ladies visited the countryside of Kent today, and I had a lovely time, I hope they enjoyed it too. It was less exciting and hectic than London, but perhaps a much more relaxing day, with a different perspective on England. We saw the smallest castle and paddled in perhaps the smallest river in England, and then ate lunch in a nice old restaurant (an old coaching inn dating back to the 15th century: http://www.thehornsotford.co.uk/). During the lunch some members realised that romance was blossoming at the other end of the table. Not only outrageous flirting, but they were playing with each other's feet under the table! Scandalous behaviour in such a reputable establishment! :P Anyway, it seems love may be in the air...watch this space! :heart: Locally-made whisky ice cream was the revelation of the meal - I'll be back as soon as possible for more of that, yum :) After that it was time to take everyone to the park and to see (what I think is) the largest house in England: http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-knole Ice creams were had, and we relaxed, chatted and laughed (Carrie - not Kerry, though it's pronounced like that in British English - and Anna had me crying with laughter at one point) under a large tree as deer roamed around us (some of them as frisky as the two members in the restaurant :P). Lots of photos were taken, but none by me, so we will have to wait for the other members to be able to post some (it's very difficult for them at their hostel unfortunately). Highlights of the day: We didn't get arrested when Natascha was shouting that the village policemen looked 'stupid'! (For Nancy) not being pushed in the pond by moi. Whisky ice cream and the discovery of a possible new romance in the restaurant :P We think Nancy drank five pints but was only charged for one (Nancy denies this!) :laugh3: Natascha shepherding the herd of deer around the park We thought we might see a ghost, we thought we might see a ghost, we didn't tread in deer poop but we made it close... Anna climbing pretty high up a tree in seconds (I couldn't myself of course because I had sandals on and am scared of trees :P) The singalongs in the car :dance: Anna has a really lovely voice, Sofia and everyone else did great jobs, and Frida made a very special effort for Postcards from Far Away :) Trivia of the day It's Roosevelt on the US dime So, although not particularly exciting for the other members maybe, I hope a very relaxing and interesting day for everybody - I certainly enjoyed myself a lot :)
July 8, 201016 yr Awww love in the air how precious!!!!!:wacky: The highlights of the day make me want to fly to England no matter what :bigcry: Whiskey ice cream how interesting :lol: The sights sound so beautiful ugh you guys need to have a meetup EVERY YEAR :whip:

July 8, 201016 yr ... we relaxed, chatted and laughed (Carrie - not Kerry, though it's pronounced like that in British English - and Anna had me crying with laughter at one point) under a large tree as deer roamed around us... Yes, how nice it is to be informed that I have been pronouncing my name wrong for, well, my entire life. :tongue: But Peeeeete... there's no excuse for you not remembering that scene from Shaun of the Dead! :whip: I need to find that clip... Trivia of the day[/color] It's Roosevelt on the US dime:disappointed: Oh boy, you must think I'm an idiot!
July 8, 201016 yr And to everyone asking for more pictures and stories... I would love to be able to post more pictures, but we are not permitted to upload pictures on the computers here at the hostel, and I forgot to bring the charger for my laptop so I have to use it sparingly. I plan to post a day-by-day description with pictures at some point after I get back. While I'm here I think I will only be able to manage little snippets here and there, since we are out and about most of the day; I'm typing this at almost 1:00 am as it is! But for those who want to know: NO, we haven't seen anyone yet. I really must get to bed now, must get rest for the next day's activities (although, I suppose given the time it is really today's activities).

Yaaay I cant wait!!:dance: Have a goodnight's sleep you guys!!
July 9, 201016 yr The stay here has been amazing so far! Everyone's really nice and we're having a really lovely time seeing London and Coldplay-related places (most of them on Saturday ofcourse!). For example we went to Otford and Sevenoaks yesterday, which was for me actually a bit of a highlight so far (with being outside The Bakery and The Beehive). I loved the atmosphere and the clean air. Such a contrast to London with it's constant noise and sound of sirens! Can not wait to meet more people tomorrow! :D Now it is time for London Eye and ICE-CREAM! We'll just have to find Natasch...!

July 9, 201016 yr AAAAMY DARLING! :kiss: I wish you were here, love! I miss you! We just ended up having the ice-cream and we also checked out how much it would cost to enter the movie museum. I am really tempted to go! But I am not sure the other ones are as tempted as me. Student price is 10 pounds. That is alot. So later we will grab dinner and go clubbing. I am sure it will be great! :D NATASCHA! :whip: Don't disapear on us again...If you do I'll bring my whip out again...:P
July 9, 201016 yr It is rather hot here today. The front page of the newspaper in the tube was titled "Thirty-phew degrees"! Even the announcement in the tube stations said to be sure to carry extra water with you. And before I forget, some guy in the tube was scolded like a little school boy by the operator over the speakers (so everyone could hear) after he squeezed into the car as the doors were closing. "And to the sir that forced himself in as the doors were closing, you are only holding up yourself as well as everyone else in here. The guy in the orange jacket made outside said the doors were closing and not to hold up the doors. It couldn't get any clearer than that." Everybody was looking at him, and he just held is face down to avoid the embarrassment that he was already feeling. :D

July 9, 201016 yr Oh, I just love your diaries, Pete! :blush: And that love in the air, I don't know about that... :P But thank you so much for today! :hug: Thanks so much Anna, glad you enjoyed yesterday :hug: Yes, how nice it is to be informed that I have been pronouncing my name wrong for, well, my entire life. :tongue: :disappointed: Oh boy, you must think I'm an idiot! Aw, no, it's just the difference between American and British pronunciation...in the US it's right (and you are right, of course, it's your name!! :)) You got me thinking last night about who we have on the front of all our coins, and I couldn't work it out. Then I realised every single one of them's the Queen (duh!) so...who's the idiot here?! :P I also realised I don't know who's on the back of all our notes...:embarrassed: For example we went to Otford and Sevenoaks yesterday, which was for me actually a bit of a highlight so far (with being outside The Bakery and The Beehive). I loved the atmosphere and the clean air. Such a contrast to London with it's constant noise and sound of sirens! Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm so happy you enjoyed it, it was my great pleasure to welcome you all here :lol: I can't wait to see all the pictures :)
July 9, 201016 yr Nat you disappeared on them!?:shocked2:! No, I decided to go for a walk and shopping instead and go to museums on Thuesday instead because then it will probably be raining and today was so nice and sunny so I wanted to be outside.
July 9, 201016 yr Tomorrow is the picnic :) I've messaged Anna with my best recommendation of the venue - it's a short walk north-east from Hampstead tube station. Perhaps they'll choose another place? Anywhere a little near a supermarket will be fine, and lots of fun I'm sure :sunny: So, I'll let the ladies choose the place and post it here, and I hope to see everyone there :)
July 9, 201016 yr Today the French girls and I were at Violet Hill and later saw the Beehive and the Bakery. Guided by Mark. Didn#t see the boys / had left town, I guess.
