Kirsten had her final night in the UK and the V’s put in another full one.
The V’s went out early on a very windy chilly day.
Kirsten got her 3rd new suitcase and repacked it and met Paul after class. They headed to Selfridge (please watch that series) and then the Mayfair mercato for an Italian lunch. A great send off before heading to Heathrow to sleep at the airport before an early morning flight.
The V’s did what the V’s do and traversed the city. They headed to Greenwich so Jeff could replicate the BBC announcers saying “Greenwich Mean Time”. They ended the day with Dim Sum and Cadbury ice cream in their jammies.
Kirsten checked into her hotel and had dinner at the airport overlooking the planes over London. Sad to go, but a good week.
One down. The V’s have another day, and we have 3 more in Scotland. It all goes by so fast.

Remind me never to buy the brand of suitcase Kirsten bought.

Two different brands — It, which I have been using for years, and Patagonia. Luck is involved.

Sounds like that was the only glitch in a fabulous family trip. How great is that?

It was a great trip, but having Jeff and the girls down the street didn’t make it as easy to be together just relaxing. We saw each other every day, but never enough time.

Just got a chance to view all these! Great phots and stories! Been there just twice, and would love to go back and visit the museums, Imperial War and Battle of Britain, The Tower, and use my BritRail Pass to tour the countryside and Scotland.

It’s such a beautiful country, and it feels like home in so many ways. We did the Imperial War and Churchill museum once before. Aspley House is worth a do over, but we didn’t have time (especially with Napoleon out in the theaters).
