Pack my bags in going to LONDON England

Yo yo
K mum here is my post

So its my week off woooooooooooooot
It began with our director leaving on thursday to petition his license good times we hope he gets it or else no car for our site and we're a little screwed. Then i got a free taxi to the train station and took the train with Yelba to Lyon where we parted for the last time saaadddd she went off to another site for Pueblo Espanol and so i wiont see her again before she leaves to go back to Mexico!!!
And then i made my way to the Lyon airport which is a 30 min bus ride and i was super early so i hung out and watched a group of people in the airport that i prayed were not on my flight, they were a school group from the UK on their way home from France, funny enough they thought i was French the teachers kept trying to talk to me in French i just gave short answers and let them think that.
so i took Easy Jet over the pond it only took an hour and a bit and we arrived in lots of time, then i got a little lost in the Stansted airport which is ot in the middle of nowhere so i got myself a train ticket but the lvoely man neglected to tell me which trains to take and basically it was just one little ticket, so then he started going on about which tubes to take so i made him write it all down annnd it invovled three tubes which terrified me.
At any rate i got on the first train to the middle of London, got on the wrong tube went one station too far....got back on the right one got off got on another to Victoria station where i was stuck fora while while they unloaded the entire tube train everyone was angry i just followed the paramedics out of the station. then i bumbled around Victoria train station and could not figure out how to get to Andover it was on none of the boards so i went to information....wrong information booth so i walked over again and they looked at me like i was the most insane person alive, turns out i had to get off at some junction and get on another train....how the bloody hell was i supposed to know that....anyway so then i finally got to Andover and James picked me up.
The highlight of my train trip was the kid that fell asleep in frton of me and missed his stop and tried to jump out of the train and hit the door and was thrown backwards!
So i got to The Hysons and its just as i remember it which is fantastic it was James' birthday yesterday(sunday) so he had his friends over and we had a campfire and birthday drinks and then we all slept outside most under a paracheut me out in the open therefore i froze to death and had to go inside at like 6am.....it was a long night and the boys stayed until today so sunday we just chilled a bit and had more campfire and James' birthday choice was to go Go Karting soooo off we went there was 8 of us including James' dad and it was so crazy there was a safety video three coloured light system and jump suits...and gloves, talk about security. But a little 5'4 girl is not a great competator with 6 twenty year olds igot schooled the first 15 min and the second i came in 6th of 8 but it was possibly the funnnest course ever most of the time i just skidded out around corners! FABULOUS!!! I even got bumped out of the way by my uncle who was ruthless!! The helmets were so big and all you could see was hair but i basically slammed everyone....if you bumped too much they hold up this sign that says bumping...and if you keep doing it you get a black flag...i almost got a black flag...he had it in his hand...it was great!!

Then we had a nice dinner with a few of James' godparents and such and then we had a nice evening and i actualyl got a bed not a bit of ground!!!

Today has been utterly lazy all the boys went home, The horses needed tending too and i had a lie in and a late breakfast and im half way thruogh a book i found in my room and just bummmed around and tomorrow who knows maybe we'll go on an adventure!!!

Just so you know, we totally also went past our stop on the tube getting back from Stansted. Clearly, I wasn't navigating. I am awesome at subways. haha. Oh discount airlines and their sketchy sketchy airports...
