A long way home: London, the triumph of Love

Mighty London... finally London for me was not just going from an airport to the other.

This time I visited the city after 15 years... London was my first experienced abroad when I was 13 years old: I spoke no English and was with a big group of Italian with only a guy of my age whom therefore lived in the same family as mine and who I simply hated!! Beside that, hanging around the beautiful city brought out random memories of great places. London is a great city...

Gabriele, a school friend I had seen again only weeks earlier in his trip to Sydney, has been a great host and once again a good come back to the past. Already after high school Gabriele understood that the opportunities were to be found outside Sicily: he moved to London and now he's a quite successful sound engineer.

However what brought me to UK was the Gibbs' wedding... a small nice ceremony in a small nice town near Ipswich that simply was a triumph of Love! I loved the speeches given (the bride's dad, the witness and the groom) and the whole atmosphere and wish Vicky and Shaun all the best... as Cheryl, with whom I was glad to share this lovely day, and I wrote on the card for them: it's not what do you live for, but rather whom!!
