Charlie Hey Fuzzy Finn! Sounds like you're having a fantabuloso time on your little adventure. Travelling on your own will be such a cool experience and you'll come back more confident than ever! Can't believe I've just missed you, but looking forward to hearing all about your exploits and the big catch up when you get back. Missing you already but I'm sure you'll have loads of fun! I'm flat hunting in London at the mo, which is a nightmare, but shall be down there properly from the end of Aug-may be crashing on someone's floor/sofa at first! lots of love, Charlie xx
