And They're Off!

Yesterday, two of my best friends Jonny and H left the country. By now, they will have arrived in Rio just in time for carnival, kicking off a 10-week holiday in South America before they fly to Sydney and settle, forever. The main purpose of this blog is to keep in touch with them, and other friends of mine that are living abroad like Mikey Dredz (Brisbane) and Mikey Roberts(Singapore), and to let them know what they're all missing out on here in beautiful Bedminster.

As I'm sure you can imagine the weekend was a memorable one. Unfortunately this is the only photo I could find of Jonny and H together from the entire weekend and that includes Jonny's 159, which for him is admittedly quite a tame effort. Jonny loves taking photos. He has taken a portable hard-drive to South America in his back-pack, so that he can back-up and empty his array of memory cards at regular intervals. He can fit at least 250 photos on his memory cards at any one time.


So, H&J had their leaving do on Friday night and it was great to see just about everyone I've ever met in Bristol all together in the same room. Can't imagine what a strange yet fantastic night they must have had, there was a great turnout. Evidently not everyone was upset that Jonny and H were leaving, but on the whole they were given a quality send-off. Amazingly, no-one let slip about the real party happening on Sunday night (whoops).

Ironically, it seems that my best photos from the leaving party night are all of couples, in one sense or another. I'll post some below...
