Wednesday 20th afternoon departed Detroit late overnight flight to Frankfurt, down there for two hours and then onto London, arrived in London pretty much on time but sat on the tarmac for an hour waiting for our gate to become free!

Hi Glorsy
Looks gorgeous, particularly the Mill. Can’t imagine how magnificent that bridge was!! You guys don’t look to to hot! We are having reports of extreme heat in London, maybe you got out of it quick enough. You are not missing any good weather here!! Lots of rain and cold winds have continued. Keep on keeping on with your fantastic trip! Xoxoxo

English history is amazing isn't it? The aqueduct in Llangollen was something! No we are not hot .... off and on showers from Thurs to Sunday! Though we came down out of the hills yesterday and it's warmed up a bit down here near York. I have updated Grazey! Kaz said it's even cold up at Shellharbour... She is not loving it at present. Feels like we have been away months...having 4 nights here in Naburn in a cute little blacksmiths cottage, downgrading the pace for a couple of days ?? but everywhere is different and you want to see as much as you can. Love to you both xx

The whole trip looks amazing Glor, have just caught up on all the photos. I think we might have to put Michigan on the list for our trip next year! Keep enjoying the weather. As Rhonda said, you're not missing anything here. Lee

Hi Lee n Pete, Michigan was beautiful no doubt and it seems not a well travelled place by Aussies as a bit off the beaten track! Well worth a detour though. Talk soon Glor xx
