England

The Great Trek to the Home Country

Laurence took photographs of cloud then sketchy houses and streets appearing through the misting clouds and then a river with bridges... his first sights of London since he left there in 1958. What a moment for him. And for me too, just quietly.

So much happened. Everyday an exciting destination, or two, was scheduled. It was like going into fairyland, into the world found in the story books of my youth, all green with streams, and stones, so many stones and charm to wow us at every turn of our heads. And architecture and history almost too much to take in. And all seen in great company and, of course, the totally cute Timothy.

As you may already know we travelled to so many places but I don’t feel like doing a travelogue at the moment, so I’ll get to that later as the mood takes me.

The first afternoon there we took a punt up the River Cam under the able control of a student with a gorgeous, gorgeous accent. His commentary was interesting, but that accent!!! After this we spent some time in the first of many English pubs we were to visit, they are all over the place and all quite charming.

Thanks for making this possible guys!

Some of the 1500 or so photographs Laurence took with his trusty little digital and Ben and Eve’s beautiful Olympus, above... Kings College Cambridge with a cameo of Timmi (notice who is making him smile)
