Adventures in London: Issue 50

Last year I spent 4th of July with Great Brittain and our friends. This year however, I was in Great Britain with my friends. It has just been a year, but that weekend seems like ages ago. How many happy hours have come and gone, BBQs occurred with amasing burgers & beer pong, and pictures have been taken? 

For me, it may be a year ago, but it is over 5000 photos ago that I celebrate America's independence day in the land of the free..

This week marked my family's last couple of days in London.  It was a sincere pleasure having them in town and being able to share my home with them. I just wish that work did not get in the way of me being able to spend quality time with them. Thankfully though, we had the Paris trip and some quality time together with that. Below is a video from our last dinner together. Going to miss that little man and hearing him scream my name. The head tilt...who knows where that came from, but it is our little thing :-)

The Saturday after Bhai and Jamila left was 4th of July. It was not quite like celebrating in the States or NYC, but it was nice to at least celebrate the day (even if there were no fireworks). 

My friend Si threw a 4th of July BBQ at his flat. He definitely went all out with a menu including over 20 dishes including burgers, 5 types of sausages, buffalo wings, kebabs, cheese, and plenty of starters. 

The next day, Mom and I went to visit her Aunt and Uncle in Oakwood. It was a nice family day of stories, food and Wimbledon. Despite have loads of work to do, it was a pleasure to spend the day with family and watch the men's tennis finale (and what a match it was). I hope one year I will be able watch the match live. Unlike the US Open it is not as easy to get tickets, but it is always worth a try :-)

Hope you all are well. Miss you dearly
