UK

1/8/7

Good friends. Like a fine Scotch, they just get better with age. My time here in England has been immortalised in my mind by the unmitigated kindness of good friends. Whether it be high school (Pascal and Tania), Uni (Ross and Nat) or Climbing (Mark and Lorna) friends, each have played such an important role to make my memories of the UK tinged with happiness and joy.

Having a pint at the pub with an old friend; dining in splendour in the confines of a historic church, or simply enjoying a good single malt from Oban, into the early hours of the morning with a great mate; these are the collective memories which have shaped my experience of England.

As generation y spreads their wings, across the oceans and to far away lands, I feel blessed to know that I will share many more of these moments with friends around the world, in the coming years.

I'm a lucky guy. :)
