June 15

At Mayfield Mansions at last.

 Claire, who is usually much more level-headed, went to work in the kitchen
 .

 The Thames from Putney bridge ........

 ..... and Putney High Street from Putney bridge.

 Anne and Peter told us about the opera singers entertaining the crowd outside Covent Garden, so we went. Fabulous!

 Cathy remembering the Dickens connection

 and Paul outside the Bow Street Magistrates court. I didn't do it!!!

 Clearing up a few errors in the London street map.

 Sorry this didn't rotate. It's Cathy with three very tall friends.

 Same friends with Paul. Outside St Martin-in-the-Fields

 Trafalgar  Square and Cathy

June 13

Despite dire predictions, we DID get on the flight, and up the pointy end.

 Our feet doing the business .....

 We weren't allowed up  to the flight deck, but Dan turned on the camera, thereby adding great terror to a simple takeoff.

The camera was also there for landing, but I couldn't bear to look.

Anyway, we're off!!!!
