New Friends

Sheila and I have been email friends since Zachary and Ethan were babies.  What started out with me being a member of the Twins List (was a listserve, now Facebook page) and then moving on to joining other Twin groups, has ended up with making friends all around the world.  Some groups are public, others private.  All are wonderful.  The support from so many people around the world, the opportunity to learn from so many diverse age groups, cultures and religions is priceless.

In the past I have had the opportunity to meet some of my online friends in real life.  This week was such another experience.  Sheila was visiting London with her boys who are only a few months younger than mine.  We spent two days together,  On Wednesday Zachary and I introduced them to the delights of Wong Kei in London's China Town followed by a walk through to Covent Garden then down to the Southbank.

Nice coffee and cake was enjoyed at Strada at the Royal Festival Hall while the Zachary and Sheila's boys went to investigate the London Dungeon's opening times.

Yesterday (Saturday) was spent, along with Sheila's husband Scott,  enjoying the delights of Borough Market, Indian food in Knightsbridge, coffee and freebies from Carpo and a stroll around Harrods.

A Coffee/Chocolate which is more than worth a second visit

All while all 4 boys disappeared off to the Dungeon and spent copious amounts of money in an arcade.  Not forgetting the comparison challenge of working out whether Five Guys is better here or in the US.


Making time for yet more food after our dash through the crowds in Harrods we parked ourselves in Cafe Concerto for a "snack" before making our way back to our respective residences.

The Edwards were off to Croatia this morning.  Enjoy folks.

**Note to self: make sure to wear comfy shoes if you're going to be out all day and you don't want your feet to hurt.
