Time's up

With a day left at the Stratford flat Jo and I are about to embark on The Big Trip. Tomorrow we head off to Gatwick airport to stay at the lovely Premiere Travel Inn, Gatwick. We'll let you know how that one goes. It's a very early start on Monday morning as we check in at 4.55am. Ouch! Then it's off to Venice! Yay!

I have just bought a digital camera so I will be able to keep you all up to date with photos and the like.

Phase 1 of The Big Trip is about to start. Excitement......

Dear Mum & Dad.....

Why did you not take into consideration the many ways my given name can be bastardized?

That is all.

Love,

Mel-icious

PS. I can assure you that I have actually been given many of those nicknames over the years. My favourite probably isnt suitable for family members. Sorry folks.
