Saturday I headed to Fiona's house to have a full English breakfast...
for lunch! I took a few busses to get there, but it was a relatively
easy journey. I got to meet her kids & husband, who were very
welcoming, & lovely. I had a fun afternoon just hanging out &
chatting about British music & TV shows & movies. We have
similar tastes & it was nice to be able to talk to someone who has
seen a lot of the same shows & listens to a lot of the same bands.
Later in the day I met up with Chad, & we stopped at a pub so he
could have some good British Sausage & Mash. We headed back to
Geoff & Margaret's to spend the evening with them before heading
back to Canada on Sunday.
We are very thankful for the blessing Geoff & Margaret have been to
us. They opened their home to us 13 years ago, when we were poor
students struggling to find an affordable place to live in London, &
failing miserably. We have fond memories of walking their dog Tess,
helping out when their 2 year old granddaughter Lucy was over for the
day, & playing in the wading pool with the older grand-kids when the
weather was hot. We would have had a totally different experience of
London if we had not lived with this generous couple. They taught us
what true hospitality was, simply by inviting us in.
Sadly, it was time to leave again, & hopefully it won't be another 7 years before we are back!
