Safe Arrival

---

Just a quick note to let you all know we've arrived safely. We've settled into John's Aunt Elizabeth's place in Wimbledon and are heading off to sleep. We stuck it out until 10pm (our time - it's only 2pm for you guys!) but are absolutely wiped. John's aunt made us a lovely english meal of lamb with hand-picked raspberries for dessert. Delish! All we've done so far is eat and we have only been out of Vancouver for less than 24 hours!

I'll leave you with a quick descrip to bring you into our temporary world. The houses here are so cute (beautiful stone, tudor and rowhouses abound), the streets are so quaint and the gardens are so gorgeous. Very English looking but I expect that is typical in England! It's a bit weird having the driver in the passenger's seat but as long as we leave the driving to the locals all should be fine. All in all, I'm finding the whole thing a bit surreal. LIke I just walked out of Dicken's novel. Very cool.

Well goodnight all. Tomorrow we're heading into London. Yay!

Miss you all!
