Almost Home

The time is growing short! We said goodbye to the students this morning and then spent the rest of the morning going through all their leavings and straightening up the place. They did a commendable job of leaving things in order. This afternoon we spent packing and weighing and buying an extra bag. With only 50lbs. per bag, we are struggling a little, but will make it by leaving a few things behind (old running shoes, etc., nothing fun). Tonight we are going to dinner with the other directors and Tony and Tina to thank them and bid them farewell.

Yesterday we cleaned up more stuff from the list. We went to St. Bartholomew the Great, probably the oldest church in London, dating back to Norman times. Then we walked to Covent Garden and on to St. Martin in the Fields for lunch at Pret. We took a bus to Harrods in Knightsbridge where we had a splendid time messing around and picking up a few last things.

Anybody need to make a phone call?

which is still under wraps

When we saw this on Sloan Street, we though

Tomorrow we will clean and finish packing and then play (or maybe play first). I'm not sure what the playing will entail, but I may not be able to post because of time, but we shall see. We really are at the end of the "diversion."
