First birthday of the year

Happy birthday dear Stephen!





We took the train in to London so Steve could spend his book vouchers at Foyle's. It is really pleasant doing stuff in London on New Years Day as there are always far fewer people than usual about.





While in London we took a stroll down to the Philosphy building at King's College - if all goes according to plan, that's where Steve will be studying next year! Bobby and Steve outside the Surrey Street entrance...





...walking down to the Embankment





... girls outside the Embankment side of the university...





Buses on the bridge...




and the London Eye...





Reading on the train on the way home...





Emily is racing through the Twilight series; wish I could find a new author I liked as much! Perhaps best I don't, though, I have an awful lot of work to do this year..

Me trying to stave off death from hypothermia in the dreaded depths of East Croydon station. Am surprised that, in my weakened state, the exorbitant cost of the inferior coffee didn't finish me off once and for all.





I could go all mushy and write pages about Steve at this point but I won't because he wouldn't care for it. I will say, though, that I love him very much.
