September 2016
We have spent a lovely week staying with Kate in Dartford.
Kate is renting from and sharing with a lovely girl called Emilie who kindly
allowed us to stay with them. This turned out to be perfect because not only is
the house very nice but we could see Kate every morning before she went to work
and again each evening. I cooked plenty of muffins for her freezer and we had
dinner ready each night.
We also did a bit of touristing. On Saturday we went into London
with Kate and walked down the Thames from London Bridge, went to the Borough
Street Markets, the Tate Modern, Millennium Bridge, Trafalgar Square and
finally a musical (Kinky Boots) at the Adelphi Theatre.
On Sunday we met some of Kate’s friends who came over for
lunch, did some gardening and basically let Kate do some preparation for the
school week.
Monday Andy and I went fossil hunting at Folkstone. It was a
bit windy and drizzled for a little while but we had a great time scouring the
cliffs and beach for fossils. Found a couple of nice shells for us and sent the
rejects into Kate’s school for the kids.
Tuesday we went to the Natural History Museum in London and
really enjoyed it especially the gem and mineral display. Wednesday we went to
Greenwich and included a boat up the Thames to get there and a tour of the
Cutty Sark.
Have spent today sorting and packing in preparation for the
journey home tomorrow.
Not more rocks! It sounds as though your time in London was lovely. It will be very hard to leave. We are looking forward to your return. You have missed all the drama and caois of the Earth Hours plus plus. On both Wednesday and Thursday. Alastair with the fire was fine but we are sick of salad sandwiches.Travel safely. Love Mum.
