Four Days To Go

Four days to go, with Christmas in between. It is hot today and the prospect of sub-zero temperatures in London is tempered only by the fact that I will see Sarah. It will be good to catch up with her. Norman and June will be at the airport to meet me with Sarah. It will be good to see them again. Norman has arranged for us to meet Bob Blackshire for a meal at his place later in January. It will be good to see Bob again after all these years. No doubt there will be a lot of stories of our time as a trio at Nottingham University. I'm also looking forward to seeing my actor mate Phil Jackson who I last saw in London in 1971. On then up to Aberdeen to see my eldest sister Kathleen, her daughter Anne and Ann'e husband Doug( and Karen's Mum and Dad). After a week I will be heading south again to see Pat and Colin in Gainsborough, before heading back to London to spend a few days with Sarah again. But that's not all....... On the way back to NZ I will call in to Portland Oregon to spend a week with Nic. It's a rather nice feeling, the trip now almost here, but with Christmas to fill in some of the time before I go.
