Jellied Eels & Barefoot Cliff Walks.

Good morning/arvo/night, wherever you are! Welcome back to another update from London town. I've been rushed to keep up with everything that's been going on, but I'd like to get back to writing another letter from me to you via the interwebs. Last week was super hectic, I went lots of places, wrote 2 essays & said goodbye to 2 dear  friends that I have made this semester!

I'd like to say a big thank you to both Alicia & Kat for being lovely, hospitable, friendly Americans, for teaching me in your ways & sharing your love of all things fandom & cat related!! You are both wonderful ladies & I hope we see each other again soon, hopefully under those bright Chicago lights. If you ever need a Cadbury or Malteser fix just let me know & a box of goodies will be on its way!


On the 14th of May, Mo, Hannah, Sydney, Maeve, Alana, Meghan & I set out on a day trip to Brighton! It was beautiful, sunny & warm (I definitely should have worn shorts)! We wandered around the beach, soaking up the vitamin D & collecting shells amongst the pebbles before having lunch at an adorable beach-side cafe. Then we meandered through the touristy shops & up to the famous Brighton Pier. We were overly skeptical about a little stall selling 'Jellied Eels' & other questionably fishy things...

Thinking that the Seven Sisters Cliffs were only a 30 minute bus ride away, we jumped on to go out & take a look.... almost an hour later we made it to the visitor centre (which was shut of course) & adventured out onto the cliffs.

It was a lovely afternoon spent with friends albeit the lack of Workplace Health & Safety England seems to have... The long bus ride was worth the view! This week I have a final exam & then I'm hoping to do at least one or two more day trips before Mum (& her merry band of fellow teachers) arrives. Monday night we're going out to dinner together - a real Gilroy reunion - before heading out on a few trips ourselves, & then ultimately to Ireland! More updates coming your way soon from my wonderful weekend in Edinburgh!

Enjoy!
