London visit

Andrew Donkin, our nephew, met us at Heathrow when we arrived. He had just flown in from Edinburgh - so we had a pleasant taxi ride to his apartment. That evening we walked along the Thames adjacent to Phyllis Court Club at Henley-on-Thames. This is the area of the annual rowing regatta, and Oxford/ Cambridge competition. We had a pleasant pub supper, fed the ducks on the river, and talked a lot, strolled through the village, and then retired for the evening. Tired from a long flight, and relaxed by a good draught beer. Sleep in a bed was welcome! How blessed we are.
