We will soon say goodbye to J, who will be off to London for a year.

He will be sorely missed. :(

So we decided to have brunch..and a Picnic!

Bye J! Have fun! And don't forget to come back!!

Rather disappointed with my India photos. Oh well.. slowly uploading, only just uploaded Kashmir. *yawns*

Miss doing my other projects 1001 albums, SSAD..but they'll have to wait. And I haven't even started with work!
