mum If you pick this up b4 u leave: have a safe journey home. Your entries have been wonderful. Love you. xxx

Fiona Hi, hope you're having a great time right to the end of the trip. Summer seems to have ended here, so don't hurry back for the weather! Your travels beat staying/working in London, where we are all told to carry water on the Tube so we're less likely to die of dehydration. Picture this scene, for instance: I'll protect his identity, but it can only be your older male UK-based cousin - getting paid to sit in a lift for 10 hours a day at the Royal Free - he's called a (temp) Porter, and all he moves around is a button in the lift. Good for reading fiction and raising funds, poor for exposure to natural light and fresh air. Looking fwd to hearing about the trip 1st hand, Love, Fi

mum You'd better get some sleep soon: that, or sleep the plane trip home. Otherwise, you can catch up when u get back...new lights in your room! xx
