Arrival at London Gatwick

Well after a serious red eye flight - packed and loads of screaming babies, here I am at Gatwick airport. Even inside it was freezing cold - unf***ingbelievable!

Thank goodness mum came prepared with fleecy jackets, scarves and a really good sense of humour.I'm here!Mum with fleecy jacket

The road home - traffic lights, cars, frost! amazing stuff

More Playa

I spent a lovely day at the beach with Sharky and the girls. Just reading my book and relaxing, getting my mind psyched up for the next day's travel to the land of cold! I had to buy socks and shoelaces. I was walking around Walmart looking around and eventually had to ask a sales assistant for help: in my best Spanish I asked the lady that I was looking for things for shoes that looked like string... I got them!

Michelle and I - Rob taking the pic - having sushi and a little too much wine

Sharky making burgers (so domesticated)

Interesting sign

Garden of Eating, where we had breakfast - rather lovely

People!

Randy - a slimmer version than I knew before - pancreitis will do that to a man

Skylar and Sharky

Thanks again guys - you are all great

I've arrived!

Hello everyone, just to let you all know that I've arrived safe and sound in sunny England. Yes, it's sunny. The fact that there was snow on the ground when I arrived means nothing!
It's about -10 Celcius at night and around 0 during the day. I have got a zillion photos to blog, however, my batteries just ran out as I arrived at the computer room at the castle. bugger.

Christmas wishes from France

I love this picture, freshly received from my step-dad. This is my little step-sister Clara and my grandma, she's looking the silliest I think I have ever seen.
LOVE IT!
Happy new year everyone

Donde esta Cindy?

Hola amigos, soy en Mexico hoy con mi amigo Sharky y su hija Skylar.
Right, I shall continue in English otherwise you'll be having to get your dictionaries out (or I can't quite do much more Spanish than that).
I got a ride in THE van, the one that Pedro and his mates take when they go to Mexico.
In front of me are good Peter and bad Peter, a very smooth ride - thank you Mr Lawrence. Oh, except of course when he reversed into the taxi. Very funny indeed. Many buckets of Bohemia beer later, I go off to join Sharky and we meet up with our Peters a bit later. Have stomped round Fifth Avenue (makes you feel really overweight - I remember why I was 100 lbs when I lived here), Siesta Fiesta, the Dirty Martini bar, Beer Bucket (not like it used to be, soooo sad) and finished the night off where the Corto Maltes used to be, a very trendy bar indeed.
Have bumped into friends which is great.
Sharky is now at the gym pumping up his muscles. I'm off to meet the Kinnon family a little later and spend the day at the beach - bliss!
Have fun gang!This is the sum of my suitcase for a month in the UK (except I didn't take the cat)
The taxi parked in front of the "NO PARKING" sign, right in Pedro's blindspot - luckily the van is fully comp. Of course, Pedro's idea of dealing with this is to shout at the Mexican taxi driver very loudly in EnglishOops, nothing that a decent plunger can't fixAh, beer for breakfastI'm riding in style thanks to the two Peters. THANK YOU GUYS, it was really a lot of funPlaya at last!
Oh yes, a very happy girl
A pair of Peters admiring the view on the beachOne of the Peter's definitely thinks he's in with a chance, the other one was begging for me to get him out of there. I'll let you decide which is which.
The lovely Magali, back from Switzerland

Sharky groping random ladies in bars - nothing has changed there.

Jimmy! One of my favourite people here.
