    Thanks Rosie...I have decided to bring a pair of flip flops (i still have months to collect different flip flops to annoy my fiance...)

    Yes, I think that is also a good timing since I finish my job in April, and it won't be too drastic to experience snow from a hell-like sun in Philippines...

    are you near halifax?

    Thanks Arthur... I have been told by the PM sisters that I am the biblical Jonah because I refuse to follow God's call to teach... Nevertheless, I think I am called to be in UK.. hahaha!

    Hi Jonah

    Although it's not unheard of, we don't often get snow in April these days apart from the far North. In fact in April this year, we were having Easter dinner in the garden! Spring is a nice time to come to UK, my 7 year old filipino nephew loved seeing all the pink and white blossom on the trees for the first time, it was a real novelty..... bless him

    I live in Cambridgeshire which is further south / east than Halifax in West Yorkshire so the weather is much tamer down here. There are lots of Filipinos in this area because we have two large hospitals and numerous care homes. My sister-in-law has just moved to a small cul-de-sac nearby and it is amazing to find that there are four filipino families living in the same street very close to one another. They ought to re-name the street Makati Avenue!

    You have lots to look forward to next year and I am sure that April will arrive at the blink of an eyelid Enjoy!

    At first my wife was going to bring about 10 pairs of shorts. But like you, she only had a limited amount of luggage space. In the end she brought just a few pairs of shorts so she could bring all of her jeans and hoodies. Then we just topped up with coats and jackets and boots when she arrived here on October 1st.

    Lastlid,

    I don't have much shorts to bring so I could not be graham's idol...

    I am starting to shop like it's winter in Philippines so I could use those clothes in the future...

    Wow, That's so amazing... will the schengen visa be the fourth? probably you will have the approval before you lodge the application... congratulations! i will rely on your info about obtaining the visa...

    My fiance has a house in 12 Otley street, but it is being rented by Calderade right now... I am glad you live closer to ours so we could interview you... hehehe!

    Thank you Rory, it depends if the embassy is at its peak season... Do apply when there are lesser people in the Application center... You will definitely have it granted in one hour

    I think even in April you will be surprised how much cooler it is here compared to Phils. My wife said she knew that it was cooler here but didnt realise how much cooler it is.......but like I said, she has got used to the temperature difference.

    I notice she wears her shorts outside just now but with leggins underneath. So she is still getting to wear them....she was strutting her stuff in them on tuesday and wednesday in London.....London Eye, Madam Tussauds etc

    You were asking about Shengen Visas and Paris...see the thread started by Purple on the topic...

    Thanks for the link Lastlid... Indeed, the question whether I will get used to the weather easily is my greatest fear for April... I might dress like a nun most of the time..
