My diary from England.

Hey avid Aussieveedubbers. For those of you that know me from my extroadinary padding efforts, (and for those who don't), I am currently on a Choir Tour of England. Today is my 6th day here, after a rather hectice flight over and some interesting travel arrangements. I am at my billets house at Sutton Valence at the moment and the time here is nearly 11pm. We obviously brought the good weather with us as here it is (relatively) hot, sunny, and pleasant. Have seen some interesting Golf TDi, and Golf GTi stationwagons and sedans. Unfortunately I won't be able to post pics until i get home in a little over 2 weeks. Have seen two very cool kombi's but have been unable to get photos because they were travelling in the opposite direction on the other side of the motorway. A slammed purple 11window bus, and a two tone, slammed kombi with empis and which was obviously very well looked after.
Went to Gladstonbury which you may know is hosting the Nothern Hemispheres largest rock music festival in two days. There were a lot of hippies and weed smoking groupies, and also a very nice black turbo mk2 golf GTi. It had low profile tyres, gold rims, 6inch dual exhaust (approx guess), and a bloody awesome sound system. It went past me two times and both times i unfortunately didn't have my camera out to take pictures. Maybe you guys can answer me why we lost the rugby and lleyton hewitt with the tennis. (you guys (and gals) are slipping without me there :P)
Anyway, as it is now 11 I am going to bed as I need lots of rest so that i don't tire my vocal chords or get sick.
Hope it's all good in Aus.
Zac
(P.s. Am also enjoying the beer thoroughly, but don't tell my teachers that:beer)
Cheers
