We're here!

Arrived in London town less than 24 hours ago. It's been over 6 years since I've been here, my travels inbetween being to non-English speaking countries (see blogs InTheNoodleSoup and theBratwurstBrat for examples). The first thing I noticed was the complete lack of culture shock! I can read the train signs, I can order food and drinks - it's all so easy! Amazing!

Ok so no photos to show yet, our biggest adventures so far have been overspending in TopShop (although, I do wonder if 'overspending in Topshop' is actually an oxymoron) and sampling a few ales at the local pub.

Today we are going to meet up with Daniel to visit his new pad (living in central London - that lucky bastard) and grab some lunch, and perhaps play the tourists that we are and visit that big clockthingamee and jump on one of those bubbles on a wheel to get a magnificent view of a muddy river and some pollution. I'm being cruel - this is a great city and I'm really happy to be here.

Back with photos shortly xxx

What's in a name?

I had a few good suggestions for names for this blog. Considering that the blog for my German holiday was called The Bratwurst Brat, equally brilliant alliterate titles were suggested to me: The Haggis Hag, the Whiskey Wench... as clever as those names were I didn't quite fancy being a hag or a wench. So in the end I went my own way with The Wee Whiskey Woman.

So... heading to the airport Monday night, arrive in the UK Tuesday night, hit TopShop Wednesday morning, arrive in Edinburgh Saturday.

Many a whiskey to be had and a tale to be told.
