A new London

So yesterday Fiona and I took the train into London to visit Ayden and I was introduced to Camden market! I think forever more, it will be my absolute favourite part of London! It's likeMarket! Needless to say it's worth checking out!


After that we went down to Brick Lane for a curry and then pints in Bar 1001 and the 10 Bells.

In Camden I bought a brown bowler very impulsively and then found I was very dissatisfied with it! Ayden and Fiona were both surprised by how quickly I bought the hat and then immediately regretted doing so. Despite my worst fears and fortunately for me, the man I bough the hat from allowed me to return it!

The whole experience left me hesitant to spend any money, and thus for the rest of my time in the market I didn't. Now I regret not buying a proper brown bowler from another shop we'd passed, but at least in future I know where to get one, and the price I should be looking to pay for it!

About a boy

And the boy is me!

I've been back in Ireland now for almost a week, and then I head over to Reading again tomorrow morning. It's been good to be back! It makes me a little homesick for the place!

There's a magic about this place. Something that gets inside you and leaves you always longing for more! It's a laid back nature of the place, the easy going attitude of the locals, and the likelihood of a walk down shop street ending in a random party on the beach where you meet a man who lives in a hole in a tree and paints teapots for a living! Its just that kind of city! You're allowed to be yourself here, and so long as recreational drinking and random adventures are your thing, you'll find a home in Galway.

It's going to be hard to leave the place, but leave I must! For now...
