England

On our way to Europe for Kate's KBS conference we flew through Heathrow airport. There are a couple of reasons: 1) there's a convenient day time flight and 2) we get to visit with an old chum.

Jean, our second mom, who I first met back in 1979 on a biking trip to England, is still living on her own in the nearby town of Woking. Jean is my best friend's mom -- Martin Fry who attended grad school with me.

We rented a car for the day and drove out to see her before flying on to Dublin. We had a lovely lunch at a nearby pub and enjoyed a sunny afternoon in the garden at her home.

Ps. English folk have gardens, not back yards as in Canada. "Yards" is for junk yards. So mind your P's and Q's.
