London Thursday July 26 (Reuters)---Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her(向……求婚). The problem is that she flew in the opposite direction.

He and Amy Dolby could even have met each other when they sat in the same airport waiting-room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights(航班).

Dolby, heartbroken when she arrived at Johnstine’s Sydney apartment to find he had flown to London, told the times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic(浪漫的) person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”

After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flat mate asking what she was doing there.

“The terrible truth dawned (明朗)when I found that Ian’s suitcase and most of his clothing were missing. I sat on the end of his bed and cried my eyes out. And that really made me angry,” she said.

Johnstone, a 27-year-old bricklayer, had taken a year off to travel around Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site(建筑工地)and started saving for surprise.

He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement ring(订婚戒指), champagne(香濱酒) and flowers.

“I really missed Amy and I had been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.

Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.

Dolby was given a short tour of Sydney by Johnstone’s friends and Johnstone had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.

Skate is a completely free tour of the streets of London -the only condition is that you go along on roller-skates. It lasts between two and three hours and by the end of it you have skated between 10 and 12 miles. The skate snakes sound the streets of London along several different routes. Many of the routes pass by tourist attractions such as Buckingham Palace and Big Ben. Marshals (交通协调员) go ahead of the group, stopping the traffic so that people can skate as safely as possible. Everyone is welcome to take part and people from the age of 4 to 63 years old join the fun. "I love it very much, it is amazing.
