Getting there

We're packed and loaded. Got to the airport and said goodbye to our crying grandaughters. They wanted to go with us so badly. And then we were delayed in Denver by two hours to 10pm. But, at last we are in London now. Adam and Carrie met us at the underground station, and we made our way to the AbnB. We will be here for the next 2 days before heading north to Scotland.

5 years ago in a cold December, Kim and I were here. It's quite nice here now with temps in the mid-60s. Exploration of the city starts tomorrow. But for this afternoon, we had a Sunday roast dinner (a long-time tradition in London to have roast on Sunday) at one of the pubs nearby. They serve roasted beef, chicken, or pork. It was very good and sure beats that terrible airplane food.

After dinner, we noticed all these people sitting on Primrose Hill. At the top was a lovely view of London at sunset in the cool evening air. Off to a good start with day 1. It's time now to catch up on our sleep.Read more
