Don't Try Phoning Us - We Are Engaged!

So the big commitment has been made. Matt and Kim are getting hitched. I'm not gonna make this a big posting,Kimmy will fill you all in with the girly details. Surely, it's not like she'll be busy working (bum) so plenty of juicy info to come. And just so you know, it won't be a short engagement as we will wait til we return to Aoteoroa.

We were blessed with two non-rainy days just gone. The first Kim has seen since her arrival. Needless to say we soaked it up by doing Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and getting engaged. I had to work on Friday (first sunny day) at 2.30pm so we were caining it round the sights. Saturday was pretty cool, Dale and Sheryl came up from Bournemouth to stay with Sheryl's brother & his partner for the weekend and we caught up with them for most of Saturday. Mike Randall and his ladyfriend came along too, great fun. The FA cup final (yawn) was on so we had a few brews at Ray's pub of choice, his own. Kim and I then headed out to the London Eye for a 7pm 'flight', they actually call it a flight as it's run by British Airways. Woah crazy. The rest is history I suppose. Another good man lost. Italian for dinner, near Leicester square, top notch. Went out with the gang after the 30min flight, we were feeling a bit jet-lagged though but had to do it. Covent garden was on the list, what a great place there are some really nice pubs around there, this one was very packed

The next day we decided to go to the cricket at lords, England vs West Indies. Then we decided not to after seeing the 'cheapest' ticket was £40. My luck of sporting events is going through a rough patch after missing out on the football. Chilled out in a park for a while then had the biggest pub lunch ever. Sunday roast at Wetherspoons pub, man soooo good.

The cheap buggers who couldn't afford the cricket. We contemplated climbing this fence.

I still don't know how she took this photo from outside our viewing pod. Maybe she set self timer and threw the camera upwards
