Dear London,
You have not been the easiest city to love. Your weather tantrum can be atrocious and unpredictable, your taste in food is tragic and when you decide to turn your sun light out by 3 in the afternoon during winter months I wonder why I bother. Yet, for some reason or another the thought of leaving you is making me decidedly unhappy. You are lots of fun to be with and although the idea of never quite knowing what will happen each day can be terrifying, it is also exhilarating.
I wish our time is longer, but I guess it is not meant to be for now…
With less than 12 hours left in London, the inevitable panic starts to set in. I still can’t believe I am actually leaving this country, with so many things I have yet to see and experience. At the same time, I can honestly say that I am glad I came and took a gamble by coming here. It had been grand, and beautiful at the same time. It frighten me that I have no idea what will happen when I return back to Sydney, whether I will settle back to my old life, or whether I will still be pining for this country and everything I’m missing, like the Bust London Summer Craftacular that’s happening this Saturday, or a weekend photo trip to Salisbury.
I still have so many photos left unprocessed to go through and post, and I can imagine it will be very surreal to look at photos of cloudy, green Ireland in sunny Sydney. Incidentally, these photos were taken on a weekend away with some friends as we wandered through the southern cost of the Republic of Ireland, ending somewhere close to Dingle.

i have been away from london for 7 yrs now and the pull of the place is still strong
oh dear, how do you cope? Pining away for that long.
I must admit, I have never had a love of London, though I have been there at least 4 times. I prefer to get out of town. I love rural england. So it is sad to see you are leaving and good to know you will be back. And Ireland, well every time I have been there it has rained lots. The shots are great. 🙂
It constantly rained in Ireland regardless. I think I will miss London for a while, it was such an exciting place to be. Going through my mail for the past 3-6 months isn’t helping the nostalgia.
