alphaflyerSo we're back, after a week in London -- the perfect business trip., with family!
Thoughts?
The underground has a loooong way to go before it's fully accessible. Haven't walked this much in years -- thanks to my new titanium body part -- but ye gods, those stairs in the tube almost killed me.
It was wonderful seeing some of our fave sights (see Neal's Yard in Seven Dials, and the Grand Union Canal below) through the eyes of our kidlet. And she got an "A" in the presentation on Roman dress that she put together for her Latin class, based on photos and information obtained in the British Museum and the V&A, and turned into a power point on the plane (the price of 3 days out of school ...). She found it all a bit overwhelming at times though, and we had to take the occasional break to watch ducks puddle around in a major park.
Les Miz has stood the test of time. The little flat we rented in Marylebone gave us a nice place to come home to. My friend Kate hasn't changed one little bit. 18 years after we won the British team epee championship, I need new knees and a new shoulder -- and she still fences. Jealousy doesn't even begin to describe it.
Oh and work? Went well, too -- mine and hubby's. :-)
