London!!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates guys!

I have been busy looking for work! Alana has been taking to me to all of these great little pubs! They are great. The atmosphere and decoration are awesome.

But here are some photo’s from my trip to London that I took on the 12th and 13th of June to celebrate our 1 year anniversary.

That's all for now. Nothing new has really happened. Alana has managed to throw her back out at work via a large dog jumping on her. She now has two weeks off as instructed by the doctor.

Looking for work is starting to annoy me as I have been shortlisted for a few roles, but nothing confirmed as yet.

So I will update my blog when I have some new and useful information!

Sunshine and the beach!!

It has been really sunny over the last few days! A very nice 24ºC. Alana decided to take me to the beach! We went to Southend-on-Sea.

The beach is… well… i’ll let you decide.

If you still cant see it. Here is a photo of me feet.

There is no sand! Only pebbles. The tide was out so there was mud and gunk everywhere. Only good for sunbathing!

 

We also walked down the worlds longest pier!

The walk was quite long, and it felt like it was going on forever! But there was a train on the pier. So Alana and I took the train back to the mainland.

Here is a picture of the pier from the mainland.

And here is a picture from the other end looking back into the mainland.

After the big walk it was time for a beer. We had a beer then bought some fish and chips! All in all a good day. :)

Pubs, pubs and more pubs!

The Barge Inn

The Barge Inn is a great little English pub! The ceiling was only 6 feet. So I had to duck to move around.

The Three Locks

The Three Locks is a little Pub right next to a water canal. It was great to be able to sit outside in the beer garden and watch the barges go through the locks.
