And lets not forget this, from some friends near London:

We continue to live in hope that you’ll make it to Europe for an extended trip one of these days. We have a spare room. We have TWO spare rooms! It’s leafy here, and Henry VIII’s old hunting lodge is barely four miles away. Plus you can be in central London in no time. I will give you home-made jam to eat, and you can loaf around in my garden listening to the birds singing. We can go hiking in the rugged Lake District. You can find a 15th Century pub with an open fire and a pub dog and we can drink an afternoon or two away. Am I selling it?

If it wasn’t for a long standing plan to spend months meandering in Europe sometime around 2012, I’d leave tomorrow.
