England

Det var godt at komme til England og hvile ud efter et meget hektisk år med flytning, renovering og involvering i Tommys liv med pasning og lidt ordning af småting i hans lejlighed og lidt ekstra stress i.f.m. turen til brylluppet i Serbien osv. Det blev til mange lange spadserture med hundene i Kenton, en tur til den berømte Dartmore hede, lange samtaler med Kim mens Sam og Josh måtte se deres computere overtaget af Max. Simon ydede lægehjælp til den trængte patient - jeg kommer altid med en eller anden form for mindre skavanker. Jeg lånte også Kims frisør, hvilket er det bedste jeg længe har gjort. Niki fik lige styr på lokkerne, så nu må vi se om min danske frisør kan gøre det efter.

I London havde Michele heldigvis fri for arbejdet nogle dage, så vi var bl.a. i Richmond Park med fly fra Heathrow hen over hovedet det meste af tiden. Et fantasktisk stort område også med vilde dyr. Papegøjerne har indtaget London - der er vist omkring 700, som man hører om dagen, hvilket virker meget eksotisk. Både Finnuala og Alana holdt Max beskæftiget - han var det store hit. Ligesom Simon arbejder Rodney mere eller mindre døgnet rundt. Vi var dog så heldige at se lidt til ham omkring måltiderne sent om aftenen.

Vi fejede Lens 80 års fødselsdag om lørdagen på toppen af OXO i London. Dejligt at være sammen med dem alle igen. Både Max og jeg føler os meget hjemme i England. Bagefter var vi på rundtur i London i en tourbus, som kunne sejle på vandet - en speciel oplevelse. Om søndagen var vi i teatret. Det var modvilligt at vi tog hjem igen.

It was good to get to England and rest efter a very hectic year with moving, renovation and engagement in Tommy's life with looking after and arranging some repairs and other little things in his apartment and some extra stress in connection with the wedding in Serbia etc. There were many long walks with the dogs in Kenton, a trip to the famous Dartmoore, long relaxing conversations with Kim while Sam and Josh had to watch their computers taken over by Max. Simon assisted with medical care to the patien in distress - I always arrive with some kind of minor defects. I also visited Kim's hairdresser, which was one of the best thing I had done for a long time. Niki got hold of the locks, so now I look forward to see if my danish hairdresse can adopt the style.

London Michele was fortunately off duty for at couple of days, and we visited among other things Richmond Park with the flights from Heathrow not far above our heads. An amazing great area with wild animals too. The perrots have invaded London - I think there is about 700, and you hear them during the day, which is very exotic. Both Finnuala and Alana kept Max occuppied - he was the big hit. Just like Simon Rodney works a lot, but we were however fortunate to see him shortly around the meals late in the evenings.

We celebrated Len's 80 years' birthday Saturday on top of the OXO building in London. Lovely to be with everyone again. Both Max and I feel very much at home in England. After the dinner we were sightseeing in London in a tourbus, which sailed on the river Themes - a speciel event. Sunday we went to a theater in London a watched a show. It was with great reluctance that we went back to Denmark.
