"What's that? The cat's cupboard. What's in it?..." This old nursery game is full of all sorts of things, like my life. On retiring from Education, I rediscovered writing. As a singer-songwriter and poet, I am enjoying this new phase.

Melton Mowbray pie on July 6
On Tuesday July 6 we spent the morning on wifi (£5/2 hrs) & phone putting time on the UK cell that Jim & Lila lent us + trying to get into the UK apps store so we could download GPS for England onto this iPad. We booked a tour for Wednesday. I called and left a message for Jamie but of course couldn't remember our cell phone #! Maybe he'll text back. But I have the number now so can always call him later. Jamie is a close friend of Erin's who we are going to meet on the 8th &/or 9th, and we will see the play Money on the 9th at the Shunt theatre where he works. We finally set off on the tube to Leiscester Square where we got discount tix for 39 Steps for tonight at Piccadilly Circus and for Oliver! tomorrow night at Covent Garden. We walked around the square and stoped for lunch at the Moon Under Water pub, sitting at an outdoor table across from the green. I had a pint of cider and Melton Mowbray pie. Jan had a pint of ale with cheese and onion tart. Delish! After lunch we walked up through Soho - shocking! (ha,ha) - and were surprised at how many London streets are malled off. You know I have lots of notes and observations about this trip, pretty well all positive, but no time to share them. So I am very likely going to remain a day or two behind. Miss everyone, but delighted to be here.
