Since we have at least one interested blog follower (Yes, you, C.P.!) I am happy to attempt to keep this updated. We have been especially busy of late, touring with our friend, Herman Mhire who paid us a visit and shared with us his rich knowledge of art. We've been to the National Gallery, the British Museum, the Tate Modern, the Tate Britain, The Victoria and Albert, Kew Gardens, Oxford's Ashmolean, two more plays, Worczek (or some spelling in that general area) and Tom Stoppard's Rock and Roll, and I've even been on the London Eye, something quite out of my comfort zone. I have never used my eyes so much before, looking, looking, looking. Now, Herman has gone on to Paris and we will join him at the end of the week for another round of looking. The Louvre, the Musee d'Orsay, Le Pompidou (again, spelling is hopefully somewhere approximate to correct), but, since we have only a few days to do Paris, as Stanley says, we might best benefit from simply hanging around the streets, drinking coffee in the morning, wine in the evening, and soaking up the ambience.
We will attempt to entertain here in our small flat tomorrow night, three young people, James O'Shea, a friend of Rachel Parish, and Dominique and Yvette Frank, daughters of Stanley's colleague, Maurice, who now live here in London. It will be a bit of a challenge fitting all around our small table, not to mention the fact that our pots and pans are sized to cook small quantities, but I look very forward to the visit. Tonight there is a reception at the law school and tomorrow, a tour of the Inns of Court, to which wives are invited.
Soon, I will post more photos! And though we are having a wonderful time, we still miss our family and friends!
