7.3.2011

Has been quiet. No decisions as to where we are going to move the office to--but we know that it will mean more tube and bus travel than we experience now. Weather is very pleasant--cool temperatures and little rain. Monday is our Prep day so we are going to the Royal Kew Gardens and then a very quiet 4th celebration. Here not much about the celebration other than someone said that the British were glad to get rid of the colonies. We just got back from walking for 1 1/2 hours in Hyde Park. You can walk forever and not walk on the same path. Lots of little ones and people picnicking. We are leaning to re-spell many words--no "or" on end of words rather "our" as in colour and no z's it is organise etc. The ward is a large one due to a large number of weekly visitors. But the base membership is a strong one. Many ex-pats with oil companies and financial institutions. Most here for 2 or 3 years than off to some other country. Makes for a very interesting leadership group. Most live close to the center of London so don't own cars--all depend on public transportation and private schools for their children. Many students here studying at the Imperial College (engineering and medicine) or the Imperial College of Music--makes for some great concerts and special musical numbers in sacrament. Best go--Dad just handed me a bowl of the most tasty raspberries and strawberries.

All take care--let us know how you are doing and what is going on.

Love M
