me again as jane was too tired to write today’s blog post
i went to london today and ended up walking for over 6 hours solid (in two chunks) as well as climbing up Monument’s 311 steps up and down. in the middle i had lunch with my old colleague Toby in Spitalfield Market.
Meanwhile Kezia went to school and spent the day with her old class.
i think she had a good time but i haven’t seen her long enough to get the full details.

jane has been doing loads of stuff (with esther). they started off at school where they spoke to other mums and teachers who remember them. then they popped by to see our old behind-the-house neighbours who are coming to visit NZ in a couple of months. Then they went to Mary-Ann’s house, then Carol’s, then Ruth’s then Hannah’s. i think they also saw tanya too.
(i think that’s right. i’m trying to remember what Jane said)
we all gathered together back at the Ports house for tea. They are now back in the house they kindly leant us whilst they were in NZ, so it was great to catch up and hear how they got on with their tour and see how enthusiastic they were about NZ. That’s made us look forward to going back home.
sorry for the lack of pictures today. a combination of computer trouble and volume of pictures taken on my walking tour i’m afraid. Hopefully i’ll get it sorted for tomorrow else you’ll have to wait until Monday when i’m back on a proper computer. [update – i’ve worked out a quick and dirty way of doing the pictures which means they don’t look as good, but at least you get something!]
and here’s jane and her friend Kim as seen in the local paper (doing their race earlier this week).
