London and down South!

After the wedding venue visit in Leeds, I caught up with my best friend Jac and Dan went off on his travels down to London. His travels took much longer than he thought (8 hours!!) and he has quite a funny story about that, I'll let him comment on that one!

Dan caught up with his uni mate also called Dan, but we'll always remember him as long haired Dan (LHD) as when he was in uni, he had a fantastic pony tail!. LHD has stepped out into the big world of parenthood since we last were in the UK, and here he is below with his new son, John Issac. Him and his partner El, are also getting married next year in September, so we're seeing if we can make it to four weddings on our 2010 trip!

After catching up with LHD, Dan also visited Kwan in London (should be some tagged pics of Dan on FB for that!), and then Dan drove down to Surrey to see his cheeky little bro Josh and sis Bethany (below), and catch up with Dave, Rachel and not forgetting Henry the dog too!.

I caught the train to London on the Sunday night, by this time the start of the mini-ice age that the UK has been in for most of December and January had started. It was certainly an interesting drive for Dan coming to pick me up from Guildford train station!

Thanks very much to Dave and Rachel for looking after us (and Dave's cooking). I have a real craving for that white stilton and cranberry cheese too, that was delicious :)

Also special thanks to Bethany for lending us her room to stay in. I hope you're still keeping those fishes fed!

Here's a few pics from the next few days we spent catching up with the Treble - Hunts: Good Times.

Three generations of Treble men: Dan with Grandad Bill and Dave....at least we can predict that Dan won't be losing his hair!
