M-4...thanks, Lola. How many M's are there? The London drive through was left-hand steering, which made it worse. However, when I had my 2nd tour in England in 1981 I knew I had to buy a car with right hand drive and my first British car was a Woosley (not sure of the spelling) and after that I had a Ford Anglia (I think a copper brown color with black top)(isn't that what's parked in the front yard of Daisy and Onslow in Keeing Up Appearances? That's about what mine looked like... Love that show. I eventually worked my way up to a small, compact Volvo. I must say it was quite a harrowing experience learning to drive in England in 1977...I about peed my pants when I forgot and drove on the right instead of the left...only did that a couple of times before it stuck. The round abouts are quite fun and practical...we need them in this country...too many traffic lights.

Hope your London trip gives you a bank of memories..I have had many visits and the buzz I get when there is great. The museums and galleries for my study of Victorian Britain let me peep into another era. yes its busy...built for another centuary.Not the hub it is now. One favourie place is in Hyde Park.Peter Pans statue.I just adore the fun it depicts. MA

Hi, Hannelore. What are you doing over there? Were you not supposed to be over here at this time? I had previously diarised Anno's visit and checked in for updates prior to her departure from the States. She had phoned me on Thursday afternoon but, could only chat briefly as I was at work at the time. I'm off to my daughter's again at mid-afternoon today and will be, hopefully at some time, meeting up with her, Dennis and Po before catching the train. Laryngitis? A blessing that fingers don't catch it, eh? My grandchildren are fine. Hope is well with you and yours.

I just heard that Lola will not be able to meet up with us. I have been able to talk with her briefly, tho, and that will have to suffice for this visit. Same with Celtic and L, we will not be able to meet them either. But with my sister now a Mrs living here, I suspect I will be back again soon.
The wedding was beautiful. Very small, with 20 friends and family members, but loads of fun for everyone.
It was the first time in 5 years that my sister, brother and I have been in the same place at the same time. What a treat that was.
I will attempt to send through a picture of the wedding later, right now the computer I am working on is being fussy. Today, Poppie, Dennis and I will get together one more time.
Love the new picture, Hannelore.

Today is all about going home. It has been a wonderful visit and I met one of our friends here at BWS. Life can be so grand. See you all in a few days when I back, safe and sound, in the cold and bitter Minnesota land.
