In South Woodford with Rachel & Kevin


Hi there folks,
All is going well here in suburban NE London from where we can strike out using our all day travel passes to quickly get to Central London and beyond. Last weekend we arrived to the best weather so far this summer, with warm sunshine drawing out huge crowds to attractions such as the London Eye. That was where we made rendezvous with two second cousins, born Brenda [1947] & Irene [1941] Snusher. Their father & my grandmother were brother & sister. My brother John was there, as well as Rachel & Kevin. Pic shows Brenda, me, Irene, John & Rachel.
After that John & I went out to have a few beers and I ended up at his place in Downham on the very south side of London. He then took me on a trip down memory lane as we revisited homes & schools that we had lived & studied in. I then went on to the Imperial War Museum, bus to Euston Station and then home via Shoreditch.
Lyn & I are booked to go to Lille in France next Sunday for four days.

Hi, Must have been nice to take a trip down memory lane, and see places you havent seen in years! I googled Lille ~ looks very nice in the north of France!
Things are going well here, the Cats lost in the AFL Grand Final to the Hawks, but it was a good game! Im going to see Maree Antionette at a live theatre company next week, which came well recommended, so looking forward to that!
Chat to you soon,
Jules
