A short snack before commencing the Jack the Ripper walk. Highly recommended if you come to London. |
Not many picture opportunities during the walk but it's guaranteed to send shivers down your spine. |

Julie had a night out with some chefs who used to work at Sheekey. |
We ate in this theatre-style restaurant. Fantastic interior unfortunately the food wasn't as flash. |
Us with Jarrod and Tia at Belgo, a popular Belgian restaurant celebrating Julie's birthday. |
Clint and Al with Karin and Fernando our flatmates in a Irish Pub. The occasion was for Julie's 'surprise' birthday party. |
Unfortunately Julie had to work and couldn't get the night off so the rest of them celebrated it instead. |
Julie joins the rest of them after work at 12:30am (most had left by then) and has alot of catching up to do. |
Got home that night and there was a package from oz from her mum and dad. It's a fire extinguisher. |
No it isn't! It's a precious bottle of Midori. |
Clint on his blades in the beautiful Hyde Park. |
