... off until 5pm so we explored around the school grounds taking photos of the surroundings. There is a massive tree beside the swimming enclosure which Hannah and i tried to climb... very unsuccessfully i must admit. We couldn't even get up past the first branch. (ill attach photos soon) I had my first day off this week (Tuesday) which was good however i didn't know what to do with myself however one of the matrons ...

... in tribute to these two astounds me (eg. Trafalgar Square for Lord Nelson).<br><br><br><br>Not far behind these two is Winston Churchill, voted the Greatest Ever Briton. When we passed the Churchill Museum and Imperial War Rooms, our guide Phil told us how much Churchill inspired the British people with his speeches during the dark days of 1940, when Britain was the ONLY nation standing between Hitler and the Nazis' total victory, and Londoners had to endure ...

... Layla and Aleena tried to wave and get our attention, but we missed it! As we headed back we decided to walk towards tower bridge to find a place where we could get dinner. We got distracted by all the street art paintings on all the buildings, and got lost. Because of this, the walk to tower bridge was both long and tiring. After dinner, we headed back to London Bridge Station and took the RV1 back to Tate Modern. We made our way to the theater ...

... popped in. Clare cooked a lovely meal - of which I'll be getting the recipe. Spent the night talking until we realised it was extremely late and time for bed. In the morning Clare and Al cooked us a big breakfast and we headed home, in time to head to the Red Lion for lunch with Mitchell and Louise and their kids. We then gave ourselves the day off to arrange ...

... so then he stormed back into the cafe. Some young guy getting on his ambulance bike (not real sure how that works.) saw the whole thing and said "Tisk tisk tisk, naughty girls!" and rode off. Sorta funny, but then just factor in the accent and it was hilarious. So we checked into our hostel, our 8-bed girls only hostel, to find that 6 beds were occupied by the only unfriendly Australians in existence. As it turned out, that ...

... and understand why no English speaking individual can pronounce my name I have had to bear with 'Yaust', Ghost, 'Jhuust', 'Yorsjt' and even after I'd come up with the helpful "...like Toast." only one Polish girl understood and mocked me with it while the rest instantly forgot the handy 'memory bridge' (or whatever it is called here) so I have given up. Having said that ...

So i just came back from seeing Wicked after our second day in London and Wicked is absolutley amazing!!!! We saw Big Ben and Parliment lit up last night which was breathtaking. Seeing a picture of something and seeing it in real life is totally different. We walked around the Soho district last night also and saw places from the film My Fair Lady, inlcuding scenes of the market and ...

Friday June 22, 2007 Day Two Dad woke me up around 7:00 this am. I went for a quick run, then showered and hopped into the Volvo with the kids. We dropped Jonathan off at his bus stop, where the "Golden Boy" bus took him to St. Edmunds College (The oldest Catholic school in England). The next stop was St. Josephs in the Park, located in Hertingfordbury, Hertfordshire. Emily is in her 8th and final year at St. Joes. It was great to go back, and ...

Day One Dad and I arrived at London Heathrow around 10:40 last night. We made it through customs in about fifteen minutes, and Annie was waiting at the "meeting area" outside the airport. We arrived at Harmer Hyde around midnight, and quickly feel asleep. Dad woke me up around 10:00 this morning, and I didn't get to see Emily and Jonathan off to school. I did get to meet Emily Marsh, a 22 year-old who has just finished school at Oxford. She ...

... is FOOD and a book to read. I find a book but no McDonalds so visit Caffe Italia for a delicious pizza ( pity I could not eat it all ) . Now to wait for my boarding gate. Security is tight at the airport with one carry on and a limit on liquids in plastic bottles (excluding water) that can fit into a sealed clear plastic bag. Everything goes through the xray machine,in a tray I put my jacket and then we continue as everything checks out. This way we are ...
