We have been back in London for just over a week now, spending time with family and friends. The sun has been out for about four minutes of the past seven days and it's been quite cold. Still, we don't come here for the weather and we have all enjoyed my sister Ruth's nuptial celebrations which began last Thursday at the Marylebone Town Hall and on to lunch at the Grazing Goat restaurant. Friday night dinner was provided at Ruth's house and finally a great party at the Fish Factory in the docklands. We all had a great time and we have never seen her so happy.
Number 4 kid, Jennifer was also here for a week and it was wonderful to spend some time with her, having not seen her for over a year.
The other joy was to see our baby granddaughter, Sydney. She is now nine months old and weighs in at 25 pounds. She is a delight, a very happy and contented baby doing all the usual baby stuff. She crawls and stands up by herself and grins all the time, it will be very hard to leave her again.
Now that all the celebrations are over we will visit some old friends and see some of what London has to offer. Photos will be uploaded shortly.
It is almost November and the Admiral has permitted me to grow some facial hair beneath the nose for a very good cause, namely Movember, a charitable organisation to improve awareness of men's health issues especially prostate cancer.
