Home again

After a smooth but long journey I'm happy to be back in Natick with cat and husband. I managed to limp through the endless miles of Heathrow - I discovered that the name Heathrow actually comes from the old Anglo-Saxon meaning "must walk nine miles in every direction" - I wish I could foresee a long week with my feet alternately soaking and being massaged but the future looks a lot less sybaritic! Once I get my few pictures downloaded I'll write a final summarizing post and pjt this trip to rest. Cheers a d stay tuned. M

A rainy day in London

Made it back here without much problem. The Academy is not bad, very much what I expected but a far cry from the posh Athenaeum! There is a huge Waterstone's just up the street so I am tryong to restrain myself. Now resting up for a very full day tomorrow. Sorry not to have been able to add pictures so far but I do have a few to add when I get home. Pip-pip, etc. TAFN...
