THE FIRST FEW DAYS: NOW WITH PHOTOS

We're about to head off to our first WWOOF host near Reigate/Redhill, south of London. We're there for about a week, then we head to Peacehaven, near Brighton, for another week. We're not sure if we'll have internet access while we're away. Hopefully we'll get back to blogging when we return to London. In the meantime, here are some photos from the flight over and from our first few days in the UK. You can see more on our Flickr.

medical research centre
Some kind of science-y research centre, which we thought looked like an old asylum.

ahhhhhh!
What a view! It's pretty great that this is still technically part of Greater London. Yay for green belts (Australia, take note).

By the way, we have a new mobile number - email us if we haven't sent it to you already.

  1. Yay, photos! Brighton is about 15 miles east of our house, not that we're there of course!

    Good luck at first WWOOF hosts, look forward to hearing about it when you are able to update.

  3. thanks, peeps! wwoofing is going well - we're at our second place now. hopefully we'll get around to writing proper posts about each place in the next couple of weeks - we're far too busy (and exhausted!) to be doing them as we go! -- never fear, though, i am keeping a paper journal! :)
