Hi again. Its now my turn to update the blog. We returned to London after our Russian experience on Sun Oct 12 and went straight to our accommodation at Acton Town ( West London ).
This is a small pub ( The Windmill ) and we have a twin bed room which has all the essentials we require. A shared bathroom and toilet. No breakfast provided but being a hotel we can have meals there if we wish.
This 2 week period has seen us both working ( June as a District Nurse in Kensington,Chelsea and Notting hill and me doing supply teaching ) where ever I have been asked to go.
Each day we would get up early, shower and then go off to work via the underground system. Some of the schools I have worked at have been a real eye opener as to discipline of the kids but its all part of the overall plan to experience as much as we can.
We also have used the time to catch up with people we have met and to just relax. I have used the Community swim pool a few times for exercise and I also saw Harlequins play and get beaten by London Irish at the Stoop (Beside Twickenham ) one cold Saturday.
We have also visited a couple of museums we hadn't seen earlier, watched more TV, done some more emails, read more newspapers, as well as having a pleasant Sunday roast at a nice riverside hotel near Brentwood with friends ( Don and Alison Sowman ) both NZ'ers living here.
It has been a good break from the travel but we have not yet got around to putting any photos on the blog, these are all on disks though.
