Oh, London.

Hello! London was quite brilliant, really.

(And now there's a little British-accented voice in my head that dictates I write with a British tilt. Sorry. Cheers.)

I didn't take my computer with me and my phone only had very occasional coverage. Hence, no posts. Hence, the (soon, you'll see) barrage of photos and posts. We're in the middle of re-entry: unpacking and laundry and paying the piper for being gone a week. In the meantime, here are a few moments from our first day+, jet lag and all...

More soon, ready or not.

Ready! Please post everything. First, so I can see what you all did and get peeks at your darling family. And second, so I can get excited about OUR trip! Which, please tell me, we are still taking? (Not the question to ask one JUST home from said trip, but still....)

So, so great that you were there in one of my favorite cities of the world. Love the photos. More, please. Did you get to Harrod's?
Happy piper-paying. I know the drill.
Love, Ma
