mrcatania Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hey guys. Just a quick one for now. I'm in London for the weekend before going to Manchester. I love it here. Spring is definitely here, lots of daffodils out. Love SOHO, heaps of cool shopping and eats. Love the pubs here. It's cheaper here than in my beloved Melbourne. The only thing I can complain about is my arse getting sore on the long flight. But I'm loving the uk and missing my dogs and friends in OZ immensely. Talk later. Off to nap before heading out tonight. Hugs Matt STOP!!!!!!!! Oooooooh, what I wouldn't do for a nice real ale in a nice pub on the river in Putney with my old friends.

Woofyhugger Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hey Guys, Just a quick note. I am on the Virgin Train to Manchester as I type.. love the free wifi in first class. I am loving the UK. Even the weather.. it's the same as Melbourne at the moment. Some showers, some shine, some grey, some blue. Just how I like it. And for me, it's jeans and a tshirt weather. Hardly worn a jacket. About 10 hours sleep since wednesday when I flew out of melbourne, but largely to a bit of nightlife in London. When I get to Manchesterford, I will no doubt sleep for a week. Hugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgin Trains 1st class is great. There is nothing comparable ( even to the standard class for that matter ) for fast intercity travel out here.

Woofyhugger Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 To all of those people who said I would hate the UK, that the weather is awful, it's expensive, etc etc.. All I can say to you is WRONG! I love it here. It's so much cheaper than Melbourne in many, many ways. The weather is what I am used to back home, drizzle, cool, grey, and even some lovely sunny breaks. I love it. To those who said Manchester is a dive and I wouldn't like it... Loving Manchester more each day. The city is amazing, way better than the glass walled tower blocks of Melbourne, which I also love. Lovin It.

Hi woofyhugger, well been back now 8 days after leaving Melbourne, finding things cheaper ourselves, as for the weather its as you say like Melbourne winters with occasional sunny periods it certainly makes things seem more interesting, the people are warm and friendly I find, and its so rich in history and culture, the countryside is breathtaking and Im sure in the coming months it will be great to get out and explore it, Europe on the door step and great citys to visit around the UK, Manchester is a great city and we hope to get into it soon ourselves. Life is for living and I believe that being in the UK will give a very full and interesting life for all those that live here and embrace it. Glad your finding your feet and enjoying Manchester will keep posting now we are starting to sort things this end ATB Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofyhugger Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Indefinitely at this stage Essex. I don't have any forseeable plans to move back to Oz, other than visits to see my friends and my dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
