There you go! Well on the way to being an aristo!
My son - he's at school in the UK - says that there is a lad from Hong Kong who wears diamonds in his shoe buckles!! But that's HK so it's ALL about bling! Apparently he has 15 mothers too!

Re: Merenda
When I was at Uni in Brighton there was a Russian contingent and one of the girls had a diamond encrusted belt. I commented once that it was a bit much and she said she always wore it as her dad had brought it for her before he got shot..... I decided to shut my big gob and move away from the Mafiosi as quickly and quietly as possible!!

We were in Haywards Heath before coming here - I knew Brighton well!

I am a born and bred Brightonian but Hastings, just along the coast is my actual spiritual home... I like the roughness and the readiness.... I know Haywards Heath welll..... you would be amazed exactly how many people I come across here who went to Brighton as a language student (I could tell they were all there, I patiently queued behind them all to get the bus home every july and august 
)

I do actually miss Sussex. It is so pretty and there was loads to do. Not saying there isn't here, just very different. I could NOT go back to the miserable weather though - if anything I think I will end up in the Sahara just to finally escape all rain!!

You want to be in Florence during one of its storms! One of the reasons I may carry on South. I actually quite fancy some colonial backwater, without monsoons of course, where I can wear a pith hat and drink G 'n't's to keep away malaria.....

I must admit that I do like being up here snuggled in at the base of the Alps. Seasons are really nice.... better than perpetual flipping greyness!!

Re: Merenda
The joys of forgetting your Open Uni assignment dates and going back to UK for a long weekend precisely when the final one for your course is due!! I was tossing and turning so I just got up in the end!!
