I'm Back in England (Finally)

Zoom Airlines tried to keep me away, but I got here! I flew with Air Canada again, and overall the experience was pretty good. The baggage agent at YVR chastised me for laying my suitcase flat on the conveyor belt commenting "I don't work on my knees". It took a lot of self control not to give her a zippy retort, but I managed to hold my tongue. Ah, the maturity that comes with age.

Our new flat is four levels and has yet to be organized to my satisfaction. I tell, you I'm going to have buns o' steel by the time I'm finished. It never fails that whatever I need, it's on a different floor.

The best feature is the view of the English Channel - just incredible. Last night there was a huge storm and I couldn't sleep... (One would assume I had jet lag, but I really think it was the fact that I had six hour nap in the afternoon.) Anyway, the wind was howling and the waves were churning - it was very exciting. There are views from the kitchen and bathroom, too. I love watching the water change. I find it mesmerizing and calming.

Anyway, that's it for today.

Hey, Sue,

Welcome back to England! Hope our paths will cross when I'm there in a couple of months, although it's just a stop on my way back to Canada. Enjoy the bangers and mash and Guinness!

Shame you were away. You are missing a glorious English summer. We've been getting about 21mm of sunshine a day. It been the deepest summer for the last 100 years. And you were having "Summer lite" in BC...

Jay had bangers and mash for dinner just the other night! He seemed to enjoy it, but I'm a little sceptical. Not enough colour in there for me!
