Greenwich

On Friday Pa, Lisa and I met up in London for a day out together to celebrate Lisa's birthday (21 plus experience!). We had a wonderful day out and the weather was pretty good too.
We took a ferry from Westminster pier down to Greenwich where we wandered around the market before finding a cafe for lunch.


After refueling, we headed up the hill to the Royal Observatory to have a look around...

We had a look around the National Maritime Museum. I didn't realise navigation and time keeping was such a complicated affair. All in all... an interesting and enjoyable day out.


Guy Fawkes night


We had a great time with friends at Adrian's house for Guy Fawkes night. Good food, good conversation and a good show of fireworks...

Pa arrives in the UK


Pa arrived in the UK near the beginning of October. James and I left at some unearthly hour to fetch him and then popped round to visit Lisa in South Wimbledon.

We went out for a fry up for breakfast ( a much better option than what they could come up with on the plane).

Then it was back to Cheshunt and recovering for the rest of the afternoon.

Lisa's new place


Lisa has moved into her new home down in South Wimbledon. James and I drove my car down with most of her stuff in it and sent her with a suitcase and rucsack by train.

It looks very nice. Its been redecorated, so everything is nice and new and clean. The neighbourhood looks good and her housemates seem very friendly.

We hope she'll be happy there...

... next episode... Pa arrives

An evening visitor


We found this friendly little guy wandering around our garden this evening. Hopefully he was after a meal of juicy slugs from my vegetable garden!

Our vegetable patch

I'm really chuffed with our little vegetable garden. We've got 'free-range' spinach and tomatoes. We've been enjoying the spinach which is quite prolific... just as well I like spinach. The tomatoes are looking great! Shouldn't be too long until we have tomatoes galore...
