World Wide Wabs

This is a belated “thank-you so very much” to the generous souls who kept us well fed in last days of Babs and me winding down our London kitchen. As you can see from the photos, we were well taken care of!

Thanks to Dom & Jas, for hosting quite possibly the classiest BBQ I’ve been to ever (down to the home-and-hand-made chocolate truffles… Jas you need to share your recipe here please!). Thanks to EJ, for doing the early morning schlep to Billingsgate to get obscenely fresh prawns and sardines.

Thanks to Frank and Em, for keeping it real, sharing your engagement brownie with us, as well as all your wisdom on South America (we’ll be harassing from the road closer to the time). Not to mention a very fierce game of Pictionary!

And finally thanks to my mum-in-law, whose lunchbox-for-2 was the absolute last (and much needed) meal in our flat, eaten on the floor of our empty living room just before we handed over the keys and headed out with our backpacks. I’ll be needing more briyani practice sessions in India in December…

Here’s to breaking bread together again somewhere sooner rather than later.

Friends,

You will have heard about our hare-brained scheme to various degrees, and while we have had many sceptical moments, here we are — our last day in London.

On Wednesday morning we start our 12 month (maybe 18?) honeymoon + sabbatical by getting on a bus to Bruge, and from there head slowly eastwards with as few flights as possible until we wind our way back around again.

P.S. If this is the first you’ve heard of any of this, it probably means we’re long overdue for a catch up on the road sometime somewhere.

Our life in boxes …
