8 weeks left

Yes, I know: I'm a terrible, terrible blogger. Of course I should have made a post about my girls weekend as soon as they left, but I was too swamped with work/lazy... But I think it goes without saying that we had an awful lot of fun ;) I went to Victoria Station to pick them up, after which we went to see Westminster Abbey, the Big Ben and of course Oxford street. My girls love to shop! After a good English pub meal we took the bus back to Oxford (almost missing our stop because we fell a sleep) and went to bed. Or in their case a double size air mattress. The next morning we got up quite late (London does kinda drain all your energy), had a hearty breakfast and went into Oxford city center to look at the Colleges. We visited Magdalen College, had a walk around the city center and sat down for the most delicious scones with clotted cream at the Mitre on the High Street. For dinner we went to my favorite place, the Wig and Pen (check out their facebook!), and even encountered the very old and sophisticated English tradition of the Stag night. The groom wanted us to write our name, bra size and preferred underwear on his chest, however we decided that a "nice" Dutch line would be much more fun. If you catch my drift ;) Unfortunately, due to internships and residency my friends had to leave quite early the next day, but I'm thankful I got to spend even the shortest amount of time with them.
And that's now already two weeks ago, and I miss them like crazy! When I said goodbye to them at the bus stop I almost wanted they hadn't come, because to goodbye felt like homesick overload... But I mustn't complain, because my calender says it only 8 more weeks left. And there might be another girls trip coming, only this time not with University girl friends, but from my old high school! I'll let you know how that goes ;) In the mean time, enjoy your Early May Bank Holiday (I had no idea, thank god someone told me!)!

With love, Willemijn
