We arrived two days ago and are over our jet lag. Today Dennis and I are going to meet Poppie. Yes, our very own Poppie.

We are here for my sister's wedding. She fell in love with a Brit a couple of years ago, and now they are getting married.

More to come on the visit. I can tell you it's 50 degrees(and minus 20 in Minnesota when we left), so it feel downright balmy to me. So far, so great.

How fab is this..Anno, Dennis and I are to meet today at the Victoria and Albert museum....I am so excited(and a little nervous...like whats that about...eh!!!lol)
I will take lost of photo's and post them with permission.

I too will keep you posted

WOW!!! How fabulous...we can't wait to hear about the visit and see some pics. I can't think of anything much nicer than meeting some of these wonderful women! Have a wonderful time and let us know how it goes!

While drinking coffee this morning I opened the paper to read the headlines!

“American and English Convention is taking place in the heart of London. The already established ties will be strengthened and officially adopted! YEAH YEAH GRANDMA ANN !!"

I’m thinking of you all, and boy do I ever wish I were with you.

Fantastic. Have a great visit. Can't wait to hear about it.

Here is a link to the museum they will be visiting. What fun.

Anno...yes, we are jealous! Gosh, how exciting...London. AND you're meeting Poppie...Poppie...your photo is so beautiful! Can't wait until we hear all about the visit and wedding.

Poppie, Dennis and I had a great visit. The museum is so huge that we only made it throught the Enlightenment Gallery. Then we popped into the bookstore where Poppie bought me a book, Faeries of the Celtic Lands so that I could learn a more light-hearted view of the world of Poppie, Celtic and my grandson.

After the museum we stopped at a pub and who should call but Celtic. She is still hoping to make it over so that I can meet both her and L - time and flights will tell.

I found out that my brother and his partner will also be coming to London on Thursday for the weekend. The three of us have not been together in one place for years and never, ever with all of our partners. This should be even better than I ever could have imagined.

Pics coming soon.
