On our last weekend in London Jess and I threw a housewarming/house leaving/my birthday party at our house in Leyton. Jess invited a few of her friends and a couple of my mates Joe and Blacky, who I met last year on my Europe trip, came along. Many of our housemates joined the party and had friends come round so it was a fun night and a good way to farewell London.
The day before the party on the 25th of February, I celebrated my birthday with Jess and a friend of mine Leah as we spent the day touring the sights of London. Leah a university friend of mine had just arrived in the UK. Leah left us to catch a bus to start work and Jess and I went to Notting Hill to admire the million dollar mansions until rain forced us to go home.
Jess had secured herself a job at a hotel in Sidmouth, Devon and with me going to Guernsey we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. We did not know when we would next see each other.
I wasn't sad to be leaving London. It had not worked out for me and I was looking forward to starting again in Guernsey, to me a completely unfamiliar island.
