The summer is here (ish!). London is warm and our upper floor flat heats up a bit, especially the loft where the big kids sleep. Nothing like Australian summer of course but warm enough to make nights a little uncomfortable especially when Luke joins us in the night!
Early morning shopping tasks done and all tidied, I walked down to our local station to meet my dear friend, Fiona, from midwifery days in Dumfries. She now lives in Gosport south of London. She offered to travel by train so we could catch up. So excited!

| Well, who said selfies are good photos? |
We recognised each other immediately and walked back to the flat so she could meet the family and vice versa. Then Fiona and I walked down to Little Venice for a good old chat and catch up. Little Venice is quiet and a lovely spot to sit canal side without crowds and enjoy the environment and talk!
And talk we did over a couple of cuppas and FOUR hours later, when the canal boat cafe was packing up their chairs, we realised how long we'd been talking!!! And we kept talking and catching up on 25 years as we walked home past Alan Turing's and David Ben Gurion's houses in Maida Vale.

| Well there you go, another well known name in our district! |
Fiona was travelling back to Gosport so couldn't stay for long but Luke entertained her to the last minute as we had another cup of tea!
