What delightful memories!
Here are a few of mine:
Nathan coming to talk to me while the rest of you were discussing weddings???? or something like that
Fun to hear from you bro

Watching the embassy employee's play solitare
The protest at the embassy on the other side
All the different musicians playing in the tube stations
Playing Murder in the front room and convincing the rest of you that Emily was the murderer, when it was in fact me. (No I'm not proud, OK so I am a little teensy tiny bit pleased to have pulled it off, sorry Em)
Launa and Elisa doing a critical review of one of my children's book purchases....hmmm maybe that was the crack baby reference from earlier. :)
The eiffel tower in various locals....London, Scotland (Did you know ironically there was even one at my wedding reception in Utah?!)
Sitting in St. Paul's reading both the catholic and then the protestant ministers sermons perhaps in the very rooms they'd given them.
Haggis that Sara and Nathan brought home from Herrods
Looking all over London for a jacket and finally finding one in the second hand store on High Street
Being asked in a shoe store, "Pardon me miss, but I can't quite place your accent is it American?"
Going to see Chocolate in a delightful theater and then being shocked when someone lit up a cigarette.
Going to the London Temple and getting to sit by the lady who shared cough drops with us like it was candy. Bleh!
Going to the play in that tiny theater above a pub with Gideon.
Sitting under Shakespeare's tree in the garden
Getting to feed an Owl
Sitting on the stairs just outside the kitchen eating Alpine and toast with Lemon Curd while staring the gorgeous courtyard wondering how we got there.
The short cut through the alley and the gate.
Kensington Gardens after the deluge of a rainstorm
Grocery stores, grocery stores, grocery stores!!!
The vinegar that I could've drunk by the glassful
Swimming in Loch Ness Brrr!
Hairy cooo! that almost kissed me
Going to see the Queen on her birthday in the pouring rain and watching the umbrellas open and close and the rain started and stopped
How much fun it was to turn thirty and be able to celebrate instead of cry....you guys helped a lot there, I still have the signs in my book.
How fun!
Wagamama's...we ALL left the Kubuki performance. For some reason we didn't want to pay the 8 pounds for head phones so we could understand what they were saying.
And finally I don't know how I managaed it, but somehow I missed the Swedish Dream play AND the Garden of Eden musical.....let's see Late to the first and got off at the wrong tube stop on the second. Sometimes it just pays to be a little behind the eight ball! :)
Thanks guys this really is fun.

Little off the subject note on my life: we're moving this month into a house. The Lady that owns it has agreed to let us rent it from her until we can buy it. I'm pretty excited at the prospect of living above ground again! Not to mention having some ground to play in.
