My best friend came to visit me during my May/June holiday; she arrived on the 26th after spending a few days with her friend in Ireland. I couldn't even contain my excitement as I waited for her at the airport, and when I saw her walking through the arrivals gate it was like a scene from Love Actually - I ran through the crowds of people (with her none the wiser) and, when she finally did see me, we hugged each other like we've never hugged before. It was so nice to see her, and I couldn't wait to bring her to my house and show her around Maidstone and introduce her to all my friends.
I took that Friday off work and we went to London to Camden Market for most of the early afternoon. She loved it there, which I knew she would. We then took the underground to Westminster so she could see Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abby. We walked to St James' Park and took an hour to "recharge our batteries" - the weather was absolutely gorgeous so we threw down our pashminas and had a little nap in the sun. After we were "charged" we walked to Buckingham Palace, took some more pictures, and then had dinner at Zizi, a restaurant I have wanted to go to since I moved here and that totally exceeded my expectations. It was marvelous.
That night we rented a horror movie and stayed in - I was super excited about this because none of my friends here like scary movies and it makes me sad because I never get to watch any (I am obviously not watching Freddy slice people up all by myself). So it was a nice treat to enjoy some horror with my best friend.
The next day Britny and I had a party at ours for our friend Claire's birthday. Her birthday was in March and she didn't bother to tell any of us, so we forced a party on her as punishment. It worked out because I wanted to take Mandi out in Maidstone anyways. We went to Strawberry Moons (our favourite) and danced the night away. When our feet were too sore to dance anymore we picked up some Subway (an after-the-bar staple) and went home, anxiously awaiting our adventures planned for the next day.
