It hasn’t stopped raining in weeks. The dog
is depressed because her park hours have severely declined. Our vitamin D
levels are dropping by the hour. But that hasn’t stopped us from making the
most of our time so far.

We’ve just officially finished four months
here and it seems that we are finally getting to experience the English weather
that everyone warned us about.
|
Despite the rain, we have been exploring
London and the surrounding sites as much as possible. Just this last weekend we
did our third nine mile hike with the UK Explorers meet up group. Each month we
go about an hour out of the city and have visited Kent, Surrey, and Buckinghamshire.
On this last hike I learned a valuable lesson about approaching bulls. On the
previous hike both David and I learned what Stinging Nettle is (and luckily its
cure: the Dock leaf).
David has been running every week with the
Hash House Harriers, and recently took part on a relay team at the Milan
marathon. He’s now training for his first half marathon, taking place at the
end of may in the Isle of Wight.
We’ve also gone on the Jack the Ripper
tour, a day tour to Stonehenge and Bath, and spent Easter at the Plumpton horse
races with our friends Brad and Katie.
Our English friends say that we have seen
more than they have, and we aren’t slowing down!
So far, life in London suits us – that’s of
course if it stops raining!
