home for a very quick visit

Cheers,

  It’s raining here, again!  But not like Colorado.  Hope things improve there soon. 

This is just a quick note to say we’re planning to come home to Roanoke Oct 1st but just for a really short visit.  Usually we’re home for 2 – 3 months.  But as there’s so much to see and  do here in London and only so much you can do at any one time, I wanted to return pretty quick.  And it won’t be many more years before we’re home permanently so now’s the time to see the world.  We’ll return to London November 4th.  Most of our time at home will be the annuals…doctor, dentist, eye checks…etc.  Thankfully the dreaded colonoscopy was last year.  Because time is so short we’ll be sticking close to home and not doing our annual “up north” but maybe some of you folks will come here to visit us here in London.  We do have a spare cabin. 

Randal and I are off to Charing Cross again today to buy the biggest London street guide we can find.  The small one we bought last time is great for central London but not when you want to go further afield. 

Hope there are lots of lovely fall colors to see back home.  Haven’t gone looking here yet, but surely the gardens will have some.

Our Chinese friend Singkey will come September 20th and on the 25th we’ll all take the train to Birmingham where she will be a graduate student at the University this year.  So exciting for her and for us too seeing her do so well.  She has worked very hard. 

Till soon, as my pal Martha says
