Traveling with our 14 year old Texas grandson has been an adventure. Seven of us (counting the two little London boys) in a two bedroom flat. All Susanne needs, I told her, is a large dog like the ones we see being walked in Hyde Park! Nick usually talks in monosyllables to adults, but he has been charming and sociable. We see a side of London we never noticed before. . .the makes of every car parked on the street. As we saw a Lambragini, the trip was not in vain. The London Dungeon was the highlight of the week. Richard, Grandfather of the Year, went along on this amusement park type event, including a personal experience, the simulated hanging of Jack the Ripper. "Next time, someone else goes. . .,' he said.
The population density of the flat was relieved for several days as Jens went to Abu Dhabi to check on the big airport project.
He returned today, and we try to accommodate so that everyone can get along in the limited space. Susanne is busy launching Kindermusic classes for ages birth to seven years beginning in the fall.
Renewing our acquaintance with King Henry VIII, Shakespeare, Christopher Wren, and World War II history has been stimulating.
Time with families is a great blessing to be enjoyed!
