One thing I was really suprised about...after one day walking around the city, my hair, skin and clothes were filthy. Thank goodness there was a great shower in the hotel room. Unfortunately the hairdrier wasn't up to much, but hey! That's life. I look forward to my next trip.

London Visit
I was very lucky to be invited to London to visit a friend for a couple of days after Easter. It was great to get the Eurotunnel and be there in only three and a half hours from leaving home. We went to see the show "Dancing in the streets" in the West End - it was really great and had us up dancing in the very old theatre. We went to some lovely restaurants and as usual, I ate too much. I stayed in a nice hotel on Finchley Road and the breakfasts were super! 
I had the opportunity to meet another friend I used to work with and we went for a walk in Hyde Park. These are photos of me in the park and on the Serpentine - the lake in the middle of the park. We hired a pedalo and used up some calories by peddling up and down, fighting against the currents. It was a lovely day and it was great to see a friend I hadn't seen for over 10 years!

Hi Jacqui,
Thanks for your comment, and yes...this is a great way to keep in touch with your memories (at our age) and family and friends. I just wish I had a decent camera and computer to download photos the way Elliott does. His blog is wonderful. If you do start one, let me know and I'll be able to see what's happening in your lives. You know I miss you all so very much and can't wait to see you again, and hopefully with D'Arcy with me this time.
Lots of Love,
Alix
