    thank you for the link, that was most helpful... looking forward to the independence day fiesta, hope to see u guys there..
    God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.

    Thumbs up Filipina life in the UK.

    Thanks Andy, I have bookmarked the site for when my wife joins me in the UK (hopefully)soon, this will help her adjust knowing there are events we can go to.

    It would have been nice to attend to these events, making us less homesick...

    unfortunately, there's none in scotland so far

    Hello Islander, Mick here, I am on an Island at the other end of the country from you, so I dough there will be any we can get to easily, but if my wife is struggling when she finally gets here, I will just have to stay over somewhere so we can get to some events.
    Perhaps others fro Scotland will see your post and you can start a mini meet up? You never know, I do realise how important friendship is to most Filipina’s.
    All the best,
    Mick.

    My honeys cousin lives in Poulton Le Fylde north of Blackpool, we attended last year, a bit manic but usual for Pinoy organised events and good fun. I guess we will be there again this year. The Birmingham event is on 21st 22nd of June and about 1 mile from our place so definite for that one

    see link if boss will allow

    I know the hotel we have staff stay there sometimes normally coach loads of koreans there. Near the station and good links by bus to hounslow. I think the car parking at the st giles is a tad pricey but it may have changed. But can ask if anyone needs to.

    Loads of Hotels in the area around Hounslow. Quite a few travel lodges, b &b's and non 5 star hotels as you get nearer hounslow along the bath road.

    Also be wary of the car parks some of the near Heathrow Hotels fill up there car parks and surrounding grassy areas with as many cars as possible. Giving those who book a night or two free parking for the time they are away making it harder for those also staying and coming and going by car (Again work mates tell me this, normally its only the summer time.
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    thanks for that info

    i want to go to London but too far where we live (5 hours to drive). The nearest one is Leeds but the same date as my husband's yearly family reunion. Probably we might go to NewCastle, I love that place and the accent

    oh yeah were supposed to meet last year in Leeds. I would love to meet members of this forum and I mentioned it already to my husband and he puts it to his calendar I hope the weather's nice. Do you go to Sunderland airshow it will be held on 25-26 July? We went there last year but unfortunately airshow cancelled bec of very poor visibility Hoping it will be okay this year

    Hoping to see you there and meet you and your lovely wife
