Row Your Boat

Greetings from Stockwell! Yes, that's right, we have moved AGAIN, making it official that I have moved more times over the past year and a half in London than in my entire life previously. We have felt a little like nomads over the past two and a bit months, migrating from Earl's Court to Islington, down the Northern Line to Clapham and now to neighbouring Stockwell. It does seems particularly apt that, having started our time in London way back in 2007 under the same roof as J and Bec, we will finish it the same way. I'm all about the symbolism.
So I finish work in just under a week, after which I get to have a week relaxing and doing some sightseeing (yes there are still things to see) before we head off to Russia. We are also both keenly anticipating Dave’s final EVER shift at the pub – I can just about promise you that he will have never felt so free and relaxed as at 4pm on the 18th. Everything is slowly coming together re the trip, although there are still a few things to organise.
There have been a few things of note since our last update. One Wednesday night late March we found ourselves with free tickets to Ben Lee at the Indigo O2, so the 4 of us went out to the gig. I have had a few social things on at work, the last of which will be my leaving drinks on Thursday night, and of course we spent Tuesday 17th March at an Irish pub in honour of St Patricks Day (no trips to Dublin this year).
Last Sunday, the 4 of us took ourselves off to Cambridge, a delightful university town about 1 hour by train from London. After scoffing scones at the markets, we visited a few of the colleges, had wicked fun and heaps of laughs going for a punt on the river Backs, and watched the Cambridge/Oxford boat race at the hilariously named (for some people) Baron of Beef. Some photos below.
That’s about it for now from London, I dare say our next post will come to you live from Russia!!
