weekend in chester

Living in Chester is so unique, different and amazing. Stumbling across a Roman Gladiator fight in the middle of the Ampitheatre one saturday is just one of them.There seemed to be over 5000 people there on Saturday 4th June. The Chesterfestival is one. I hope to see an open air cinema movie sometime this week. Theyre showing Dirty Dancing, a classic and one of my ultimate favourites! The city is surrounded by Ancient Roman Walls and connected through a canal and River Dee that run around. It is bordering Wales, and little to know surprise the Queen's richest cousin, and richest man in the world is the Duke. Duke of Westminster. He owns most of the land surrounding Chester as well. The Business Park and the villages, I was even told the park that I try and run in, near Handbridge is his.Nothing like a bit of royal and history about a town to start your sunday morning. haha

This weekend has flown by, unlike other weekends that I have been studying on an exam or an assignment, this weekend is nearly over and i want to pull the reigns and say 'HOLD ON!!' I feel like that with most things that I am doing. I was with Anna yesterday for most of it. Anna is from Hungary, a country that doesnt come up often, but an interesting one at that. One I do hope to visit one day. She is so sweet and we share a common love for Jane Austen books which can have us talking for hours. Even watching the 2006 BBC version of Emma on a Saturday night haha. It was great fun and I think these memories will stay with me forever. I am leaving you see, my six months is nearly over. I leave for London on 15th and then for Sweden on 18th June. These adventures are just beginning before I head back to Australia. At time Ive missed home but now I want to travel. Chester has been good, but the work experience that Ive been doing for the last 4 weeks has been mundane and at time mind numbingly boring!!  I cant wait to finish it and experience a good European. well Scandinavian  Summer. When you think European I think youre automatically thinking Greek Islands but the heat in Sweden doesnt unfortunately compare to that about of heat! 

Another day in Chester is about to start so I must get to it!
