Writing from: Home sweet home
I’m leaving my lovely London and, as is always the way with me, I have no time at all to do everything I want before I do so.
This is not my first trip, not by a long soft, white, porous sedimentary rock, a form of limestone composed of the mineral calcite, and I am sure it won’t be my last. This is, however, my first blog about it. So lucky me, and lucky you for stumbling upon it.
Yes, I will be travelling. Yes, I am taking six pairs of knitting needles and more sock yarn than is healthy, and ok, I am a bit confused as to why too.
My flight leaves this very evening. Everyone here seems to want to leave with me.
Yesterday morning though I wandered back through London from a night of wine and celebration with all the friends I am going to be leaving behind. London appears to have been invaded by a scary amount of garden spiders this year, and they’d been busy little eight-legged oh-my-god-is-that-one-of-those-jumping-ones folks. Every bush and tree seemed to be covered in their handy (or leggy?) work, and because it was a misty morning in our fine city every web was all spangly. And I sort of hate to leave…
Still I would rather have proper memories of India than the curry house I walked past on the way home from Putney.
So here I go.
I hate to be leaving, but I won’t let it come between us. 🙂
Hello Lauren,
I hate to think of you travelling alone, so I shall be lying in wait for you whenever you pass by the ocean or the sea. Don’t mind me, I shall just brush against your legs when you are swimming, in a reassuring manner.
Yours,
The Whale Shark
Sen the Taj Mahal yet? That’s in India.
Seen, I meant. Ovbiously.
Obviously, I meant. Clarely.
Lashawna,
Did you get your Lush solid shampoo yet, Judy? Can’t be travelling without it! I am having rice and peas for dinner again, mmm hmm!

To the Whaleshark, bring it on you Baline bastard.
To BNM, you’re grammar and spellng is atrshush.
To Shaq, no. My hair is now a large sheep shank.
Hmmmmmm…I think I’ve seen that curry house before! Did you perhaps have a late night and miss the last tube?!?!
