Goal achieved

Kerri and I are in London, after a fairly horrendous journey lugging bags around stations.

Hostel is a bit of a warren, but we've got a room to ourselves. Had a quick and cold trip to see Peter Pan. South Kensington is NOT sunny.

Mr and Mrs FB totally spoilt us, giving us wonderful meals, filling us with French champagne and driving us around Shropshire and Wales with commentary and jokes. Had a MARVELLOUS time!

And we got to meet JimOnTheRadio as well. Lovely to listen to his show in real time.

Yay! Hubby and I are in London too. We've been exploring for the past week or so. Mom and Dad should be touching down at Heathrow any minute now. Hope to see you soon.

I am so jealous!! Have a great time!!

Bookgirrl (Madeleine) and her beau, Thyroidman, should be there Thursday, I think.

I'll be watching for updates!

I wish I could have gone this year, too. I'll have to enoy it vicariously, through the pictures and reports.

Are you at the Earls Court hostel? I stayed there last year and is, indeed, a complete rabbit's warren.

Apparently it's been recently refurbished after being badly damaged in a fire a couple of years ago. I have to say, it looks no different to how it did on previous visits, apart from a new reception area...

It was so wonderful to hear Radio Shropshire live. I was so excited I even took a picture of my car radio.
