I took Ellie to Piccadilly Circus the other night. Dear sweet Ellie looked like a little squirrel in headlights, staring up at the buildings and lights like she had never seen a billboard before.
"London's... real... big" she said slowly.
I took her hand and pointed at landmarks, different musicals, theatres, and buildings, as she stared with wonder. People just can't help loving London.
We went to some clubs and we danced with some German girls. We drank and danced and go back to our hostel in time for the free breakfast buffet at 7.30am.
Yesterday we watched a movie called 'The Happening'. If you haven't seen it, and are a fan of "so-bad-it's -good" style action thrillers, I highly recommend this one. All you need to know is that it is about killer trees. We then watched 'Poseidon' - This didn't quite cross from the bad to the good category, but it was still worth laughing at.
Today I am going to take Ellie to not-so-big-ben, and Westminster Abbey. I will upload some photos tomorrow. It's nice to have a friend here, and it's made me realise that I have begun to feel like London is familiar to me.
I really do love it here, and I love showing it off :)
Not much to blog about at the moment, except maybe that its also worth a mention that today is one year exactly since Cale walked out. Which is momentous, because it marks a big change. I feel happy about the changes and choices I have made in the last 12 months (well, the majority of them). I feel like I have grown and moved on and adapted and matured. It's been a really huge year, a really painful and testing year, and I am patting myself on the back. LIKE A BOSS.
