Phew!
Finally, an internet connection. Let me tell you about withdrawal... ;-)
Week 1 in England has been otherwise wonderful, tho with one bit of car mishap at the start. But no injuries to the two humans so few complaints that $$s couldn't solve. So this is just a quick hello from London tonight, on a very slow connection at the Marriott.
Last Sunday in Canterbury we were able to attend Evensong sung by the boys choir. Pretty darn close to heavenly. The photo was our first glimpse of the actual Cathedral. I had watched Beckett just before we left so it really felt like the events in the cathedral were only yesterday.
I must say while I was off line, we did have British Sky News on the telly every day and my heart goes out to all those in Australia. Without a connection, I wondered if all my friends who live inside the computer were safe. Lots of love to you all in Kangaroo land. Back atcha tomorrow.

One More Goodbye
It's that time again, and despite bursts of absolute (but controlled) panic about the current - and potential weather - in dear old England, and how the two of us may or may not cope with driving, I am packing my bags.
With a deep sigh, I'm getting ready to take the many many travel segments that should get me from my own home to a new bed in Canterbury more than 24 hrs later. Train, plane, tube, train, car. That's how it should be so I'm saying my prayers and knowing things always do work out - eventually and the right way.
Oh and then we drive up to Edinburgh - bwahaha! and back south.Update: We decided to cancel the Edinburgh part and go to London for that week instead. The North of England and Scotland will be better when the sun sets at 10pm we concluded. I'm wondering just who planned this trip!?!?!?
