After two years in the UK its getting to the point due to visa issues a few of my friends are going home. Sadly for me it meant that one of my closest friends and partner in crime, Shea, was due to leave. Thankfully she has the opportunity to renew her visa to a highly skilled visa however it wasn't guaranteed so when she left we weren't sure if it was see you later or an actual goodbye.
Although to distract us from this inevitable tear jerker we partied instead. Her final weekend in London coincided with St Patrick's Day so what better way to celebrate then dress up in all green and go out clubbing. As we already had our green dressed from a previous party all we had to do was grab some glitter hats and green stockings and we were well and truly in the spirit!
We went for pre-drinks at a friends house to kick start the evening and had a few drinks and nibbles while we all got green-ified. It wasn't only us that got green-ified as the glitter from our hats had fallen all over Dan and Katies apartment - so much so that they were cleaning it up for weeks afterwards. By about 10 we were ready to head off to the club where we spent the night drinking green drinks and dancing the night away.
It was a great night out and was so good to see everyone. One of the best things about going away parties is that they usually bring out absolutely all of my friends. Dancing and drinking the night away is one of my favourite things to do with Shea so it was a pretty apt way to say goodbye. It will be a blow to my London life to lose her but thankfully her visa situation looks positive!
Saying goodbye is one of the downsides of living in a city filled with people from all parts of the world and this year I have to say goodbye to a few close friends. But I wouldn't trade living in London with these people for anything!
