Oh my Goodness - What a week!!!!
OK... so I arrived in the UK at 6.55am on Monday morning, then got the train down to London ad 1.30pm - Saw Trinny and Susannah at Runcorn Station. One of them was talking abut Prada and how she was going to have shepards pie for tea!! Was very bizarre!
Had my interview at the Embassy in London at 10am on the Tuesday. I expected to be there for about 6 hours and be totally grilled and interrogated. Took about 45 minutes and asked me about 3 questions and it was done!!!
Met up with Georgie that day and it was really odd to see her in the UK, stayed that night at Sarah’s again, then got the train to Ely on Wednesday. Met up with Sian.
My visa arrived at 6.45am on the Thursday morning much to my relief so booked a flight back to NYC for Monday. Then got the train up to Huddersfield.
Met up with Maria and Karen and met up with everyone for a night at zetlands and some good ole cheesy dancing - ooo how I have missed all that!!
So then came back to Helsby on Friday and got my oldest friends wedding today! 20 years we have known each other - that makes me feel sooooo old!
Got an early Christmas with the family tomorrow and then its back to New York for at least the next 3 years of my life!!! I can't believe after the past 6 months of stressing and paper work and letters I am finally sorted. It’s very surreal and odd but I am so happy.
It’s all very cheesy but I feel like everything has just fallen in to place - eventually - and that it was all meant to be. This is exactly what I am supposed to be doing at this point in my life. It may not be what or where I am forever but who knows..... I am enjoying myself and surrounded by fantastic people in the UK and US so that’s all that matters!
Yay New York!!!

Quick update before I come back for a flying visit to the UK
Well let me think....
Saw the Lion King a few weekends ago. Managed to get really cheap tickets - 10 rows from the front. It was amazing!! The animals walked right past and the costumes were so innovative and fantastic. It also turns out that the Guy who was Simba did a Brazil CCS program and I was also emailing him before I came to NY about renting here!!!
Then there was Thanksgiving, a pretty chilled affair, went to see the parade and got soaked though - did see Julie Andrews and Gloria Estafan though. Then went out for a dinner in the evening. The Brits and Irish out numbered the Americans for once!
Georgie goes back to the UK later, so we went out last night for a few drinks, next thing I knew it was 3am!!!
Boo Boo/ Sasha / Sadie / the dog was adopted last week - fortunately by Seamus' parents so we will prob see her again and now we have anew one. Paris!! No we did not name her she's not as lovable as Boo Boo but she's had a rough time and is slowly warming to us.
So plans for this weekend... To go and see the tree at Rockerfeller Centre, do some shopping, iceskating. Then next weekend I'm coming back to the UK!!
Well got to go Brunch with the ladies ...a very late brunch!
