Millennium Village

Sometime during yesterday's festivities the girls and I managed to invite ourselves over to Gemma's house for dinner tonight, so after another day of tying up lose ends, cleaning my room, packing my bags, etcetera I headed to Millennium Village where Gemma lives with her boyfriend Joe. I snapped this shot as I approached their apartment building which overlooks the Thames.

We all had brought food and drinks to contribute to the feast and had a great time eating, watching the Commonwealth Games and enjoying each other's company. This was actually the last time I would see these girls so at the end of the night it was time for official 'goodbyes'. Both the girls and Gemma and Jo had bought me a little present which I wasn't expecting and made me feel very special. There were hugs all round and a couple of tears before I headed home to bed.

I feel genuinely blessed to have met all these wonderful people while here, and will miss them dearly.
