The fam came and the fam went. It was so so so so so wonderful to have them here. Their stay seemed long before they got here, but once they had arrived, time just flew by. Unfair. There is so much more to see and do here.
But we did get around doing something, don't you worry. We went to my school and I remember there being surprised faces when the smallness of the campus was noticed. Or was I imagining? Maybe I'm still amazed at the different in size between say my school and the one right next to it.
Whilst I was at school, they got around to the beginning of Oxford Street, shopped till they dropped and went back to the hotel. On another day, the fam went to day "hi!" to the Queen and the Houses of Parliament.
They went to Oxford Street without me, you say? Well, yes. But then we all went to Westfield shopping centre in Stratford. You know, the biggest one in the EU? We barely managed to go through the two top levels before we got too tired. It is BIG.
One thing that I wanted to show to them (apart from my glorious room, which they saw as well - bro defined it as small) was Greenwich. It is so quaint. And green.
Good times were had and I'm so glad it's only a bit over a month till Christmas holidays. My love of Finland just grows and grows while I'm here. (See following post.) I'm so happy they were able to come. Friends - when are you coming?

I had to google Westfield shopping centre - and it's HUUUUGE, indeed! Tuuri is just a fly's s**t compared to that :D
When are we coming? Hmm, what would you say if we came in March or April? Have to ask what other girls think! I have to first spare some money but it would be certainly fun to visit :)
Tuuri has nothing on Westfield. It is humongous. If I had more money in my pocket, I'd be going there very soon again. But alas, that is not the case. Maybe nearer to Christmas... :P
And about you guys coming - March or April sounds perfect! Somewhere there I have to month long easter holiday. Sweet. There's SO much I want to show you guys!
Ok, that's good to know. I'll suggest that and let you know what girls think! I'm also curious to see what London looks like :)
