With the intent to go to Australia House and vote in the Australian election we braved the below 5 degree weather and headed into central London. The minute I got on the bus, it occured to me that we’d forgotten our passports, and wouldn’t be able to vote anyway (hope we don’t get a fine this time). No matter, we had another agenda for the day. And that was to venture to the Australia Shop by Charing Cross Station.

We’ve been talking about the things we miss from back home (99% of which is junk food), and it wasn’t until recently that I realised there was an Australia shop in London, and we’ve been looking for an opportunity to go ever since. And it was a great thing too, like three kids in a candy store we tore the store apart and walked out with show bags full of Twisties, Burger Rings, Vegemite, Warheads, a Cherry Ripe, Mint Slices and Pizza Shapes. Apart from the sheer cost of buying imported, bottled beer, I’d have bought a carton of Coopers Vintage, Stout, Sparkling and Pale ales too.  Ah well, maybe Australia Day.
