Thursday morning I said goodbye to Kerry, Taylor, & wee Noah before heading off to London. Kerry sent me off with a packed lunch (complete with a roll from her Dad's bakery down the road) & I had my last cuddle with Noah at the train station. I was feeling a bit better than the day before although still a little queasy, which is never fun on a 6 hour train ride. Fortunately it wasn't as bad the trip from Barcelona to Nice… The train ride was beauti...

Slept until 11am on Monday. Me! 11AM!!! Oi, that musta been some bug! Not even wee Noah's wailing could rouse me (the poor little man is teething, & as someone who not so long ago had their wisdom teeth coming through I can completely empathize!). Because I wasn't up to going out we just hung out at home which was actually really nice. I got to take Noah off Kerry's hands for a bit so she could actually hang the washing out & get a few things done. ...

But I managed to break ground when she realized I had Mickey Mouse on my t-shirt & she had Minnie Mouse on her backpack & we bonded over our fellow love of all th...

Today Kerry took me out to a little town about half an hour's drive away from Dundee called St Andrews. St Andrews is known as the home of golf & is where the very first golf course was built. It's also the town where Prince William went to university & where he met Kate Middleton (interesting piece of trivia for you there!). It's a very posh university where the rich, famous, or uber smart Brits go. There's even a store in town called Jack Wills Univer...

Sunday morning I packed up & got ready to move on to Dundee. Esther, Jess, & I all went out for lunch in town at a Scottish pub, although I opted out of having Haggis once again. Somehow I just do not feel the need to complete my life experience by eating minced offal…imagine that? :P We said goodbye at the train station & I tried hard not to think about the indefinite period of time that would go by before I would see Es again…probably that won...
