6 days in London staying with Josephine and Desmond in Barnes whilst waiting for the passport and visa. Spending time in Barnes is very much a reminder of the 11 years I have spent here whilst working in South London. Being here without working has a different feel to it and is infinitely more relaxing.
The two achievements today were booking the flight from Auckland NZ to Lima, Peru, am now booked for 2/3rds around the world, and the passport has now reached Grimsby and is on it's way to London. I can't begin to describe the relief after the trials and tribulations of the past 16 days, it has taken exactly one month to process!!
So now the fun can begin.... am flying to Rome on 22nd and then to Kathmandu on 29th October, all being well, that is.
Will be able to attend an ex-colleagues leaving party tomorrow and hope to ring the bells at Barnes church on Sunday, and in the meantime take advantage of the river walks along the Thames between now and Tuesday..
