Just one more sleep before we embark on an epic adventure and this one does not involve any tents!!

The planning for this trip started as we would really like to see our Harry and his partner Tina (who happily live in the UK)
Stuart then adds a conference that just happens to be in the Italian snowfields.
I then figure, well, if we’re in the neighbourhood may as well tick of a bucket list journey.
So that will take us to Norway.

We will then return to London and Harry and Tina before flying to Cologne in Germany.
Our Tina is German and her family have asked us to visit.

So grab that cuppa and enjoy our (hopefully) daily posts.😊



Going to miss this tho.

Anyhoo, we started early, escorting James to Liverpool st Station to begin his epic journey home. More about that when we’re home but he is coming home a little earlier than planned. We will follow somewhat later today. Checked in with Harry and Tina. Tina was catching up with a friend for coffee this morning and Harry has one last little adventure for us. We caught our 26 bus down to the main financial district.  Bank of England ( only 300 years old), the Stock Exchange and London’s Magistrates Court.

A church against the wall of London, built of course on a roman wall… I had no idea what this was, the Barbican that is but oh my, I feel I have landed in a parallel universe. This is essentially a city within the city of London. Home to over...

After what seemed like an endless trip flying across the world, we finally made it to the UK and London. Our weary minds negotiating a very slick security and customs system at the airport had us sitting on the tube within 30 mins I guess. It’s about 7am and still very dark which is a little confusing. It’s about a 10 minute walk to Harry and Tina’s from the station and despite being laden down with loads of gear, it appears to be a bit chilly. We woke them up with our early arrival but what an absolute delight to see them both after so long. Quick chat and off to grab some coffee and pastries and other supplies. It is so very quiet considering today is a normal day, perhaps the Londoners resting up for their New Years celebrations. As a Christmas gift Harry presented us with a two day itinerary of our London New Year activities. We are both delighted by the thoughtfulness. The morning spent wandering around the area, catching up with each other, drinking coffee and me delighting in t...
