I'm leaving on a jet plane..... no wait it's a Volvo!

So we are leaving London in less than 24 hours. Having a lot of mixed feelings about it; excited, nervous, happy, sad, stressed... you know the usual for me :)

First stop will be the Lake District in England. Will update my blog and put up photos as often as possible. But to start with lets reminisce about London and the things I will miss.
