My final week in London was cut short due to some hospital time, so unfortunately it wasn't filled with a few of the things I had hoped for, but hey... I did manage to say bye to a lot of nicies. I will miss friends more so than London as a city, because London isn't going anywhere anyhow...
Tomo !
Angela and I squeezed in a last minute date on my 2nd last day. She lives in Hampton just out of London, and she is very cute.
Clare P! We went to Primary School together! Fun to catch up with her.
This is Amy. Hoping that some day we live in the same city again, as we really really clicked, and I would like an extra large serving of Amy time. We met at BritDoc festival in Oxford in July, and shared a hotel room in Sheffield together at the Doc Fest. I am really glad I went to both these festivals, and Edinburgh. I met great filmmakers, saw great films.
I am clearly a dog person but Duncan was a pretty cool cat. We asked him about what films he had seen and he looked a bit confused... At film festivals everyone kinda asks people for their tips etc, so it was kinda weird he looked so confused... Before he could start rattling off ET and Titanic etc, I stopped to check to see if he knew where he was. Turns out he didn't know it was a film festival party, he was a local construction worker from Sheffield out for a good time. Quite funny really!
I won't miss the British chips? For a Country known for their chips I didn't understand why they were so average? We didn't actually buy anything here I just wanted to photograph Amy!
She has been living in London for a few years, she is from Capetown South Africa so I like her voice, as it reminds me of Gavi and Alon! I really like her laugh, hence me trying to hear it a few more times before leaving!
Here are some photos from my flat in Stoke Newington.
HOW CUTE IS JO!???
Not happy about leaving this cutie behind, but I hope she will come to Melbourne soon!
My flatmate Janine!
I will miss the views, but I will NOT miss the weather!
Tomo and Bec! We went to a bar and they played Hippy Chick by Soho, haven't heard that one in years! It's got a good beat. Good luck work wise for both you little poppets! Bec and I worked out we both love the same Boston Terrier from Smith st Melbourne! I know that's a random comment, but for me, anything BT related is not random, but heart warming. Speaking of, I was so grateful that Bec and Tomo visited me in hospital on day 3 and brought me toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm etc! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
Claire, who I will see in the sunshine in a few months!
Miss Annie amazed everyone with her amazing ability to budget in an expensive city like London. She should write a book and make some money explaining how she saves it in London!
It was pretty hard to say bye to Billy and his family. I have seen a lot of similarities between Billy and I, so we decided to see what he would look like with Gen locks. NB - Billy does not take his finger off the mouse as he constantly re-loads the cartoon he doesn't want me missing the first few seconds of while posing for the camera.
Tina, Gary, Billy and Frankie!
With Billy I know we will keep in touch, because as he says 'Dude I'm on You Tube!' They are eagerly awaiting Meet Billy Pt 2, which I will upload to Youtube as soon as I can!
Billy had a lot of love to give, I got lots of hugs and kisses and I Will Mis Yous and I Love Yous, and lots of other things I won't write about here! I am really glad I met Billy and can't wait to share his charms with the world through Eleven! It is going to be a massive task, as I have footage of kids from all over the world over 2 years, and a lot is not in English! But I can't wait to get stuck in to it, and where better a place to edit than Melbourne.
