Oh, and please ask Patrick about his shower - he might even post the picture if you're really lucky! :lol:
Location of St Mary's Gate Inn was just perfect !
And the beer was really good :wink:
Lucky me again that they didn't have free rooms when I did the booking for Arundel.
I would recommend Arundel Park hotel- very nice and clean, but a bit more expensive. Should pass the famous Yorkshire standards ! :lol:
Because I noticed, Yorkie, you are referring to the cleanness issues strongly (firstly- the worrying condition of the shower ; secondly- alarming about a few spots on some black T-shirts).
We could put your talents in use and ask you to be a chaperon for the fans ? :lol:
Should I reveal you a shocking fact I had with myself 3 t-shirts for the 7 days I spent in UK ? :oops: :lol:
P.S. Anyway , returned today back home after having a perfect week ! Can't stop thinking about the next concert :)

Oh, you shouldn't have revealed that. Yorkie will never look at you the same way again. :lol: 7 days eh? Good for you!

Cleanliness - must be a middle aged thing I guess :wink:

I have to say we were very unlucky with the weather last week - we have had some great temperatures this week and Saturday will be 27c (81f in old money) in London, where as last week I guess it was about 16c (60f) with a cold North wind to make it feel colder still.

Glad you got back home safely Murkskis - what did you get up to for your last few days in London?
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Hey Yorkie, I'm curious what's the temperature ranges in London for each season? Here in the Philippines, we get around 20c-35c pretty much all year round. We only have summer and wet/rainy seasons in a year.

This might have been brought up already and I just missed it but I heard there's 11 new boys in the Arundel concert? I don't think any of them were included in "Peace" except for Mine Akpobome. And is it true there's another Madine? :)

*I just saw the scans of the Arundel programme. turns out there are two Akpobome boys. Mine was the one in the CD leaflet. Wow, suddenly lots of brothers in Libera. :)

That's true Nikki. I think their names were included in the concert program, scans of which were shared by Fan_de_LoK somewhere (maybe in this thread or maybe in another). And yes, there's a Matthew Madine in that list.

That we don't know. :) We better remember to ask Josh that the next time they're here in the Philippines, assuming he will still be part of the touring members of Libera.

No worries :lol: , because I'm just making some fun of it !
I expected this to be picked up somehow and let the story continue afterwards. :lol:
Because when I'm in office, I change my clothes every day, of course.
The key for exception is the limits of cabin luggage allowed by Ryanair. It's 10 kg. And expected temperatures below 20 degrees- the quess was quite close. Expected usable showers in every hotel- lucky again they had :)
I don't like to bother about many luggage items. Especially this time because of the 3 switches - initialy stayed in London, then Arundel, then London again. I like freedom and I planned carefully every item to take with me in order to keep mobility and lower the total costs. For example, I was able to walk around and explore everything with all my luggage with me !

Yorkie will remember that on the train back to London I had only one bag with me ! :wink:

Considering the weights- I had my laptop (I requested for Wi fi in every hotel), London guide book and just limited the wardrobe items. I even managed to do some shopping on my way home. :wink:

What I saw or/and visited - Regents Park, London Tower, Millenium Bridge, St. Paul's cathedral (but unfortunately I didn't managed that on Sunday when there was a choir performance), Arundel old streets, Arundel castle, a pub in Arundel, Arundel cathedral :lol: , Kew gardens, London Zoo and a lot of London center, another London pub and London underground as well.
Should I mention that I visited Libera concert ? :lol:

Men can do that, I've stayed 2 nights in Dublin with just my rucksack on my back. Makes a big difference when you don't have to worry about suitcases and bags of this and bags of that.

If Mathew is Josh's brother, well regardless really, they must be related, I wonder if we'll get a photo of the whole dynasty clan. Josh, Alex, Sam, Jacob and now Mathew. There is a photo with the 4 together, but will there now be an opportunity to snap the complete set! ;)

It generally ranges from averages of autumn (10-12c), winter (4-7c), spring (9-13c), summer (20-23c).

Those are averages though, we've already cracked 25c today and this winter just gone was particularly harsh with some overnight lows getting as low as -18c.

this winter was awful it got to about -5 here, the roads seemed to always be icy :(, this summer looks promising for sun though, its meant to get to 27c here :D even though me and sun dont get along with my general fair hair and pale skin
When you miss me just look up to the night sky and remember, I'm like a star; sometimes you can't see me, but I'm always there.

Try visiting the Philippines. 27c is cold for us. 8) I heard a few days ago we hit 37.5c. :shock:

Got a feeling that it won't happen, at least not here in the Philippines. Maybe in domestic tours. Sam and Josh are on their way out as touring members and Matthew M. isn't even a touring member yet.
