We woke up this morning and prepared for a nice morning at church!  Andy made us an (almost) full English breakfast with eggs and bacon and tomatoes and toast.  We got ready and figured we had to leave the flat by 9 to make the 10am meeting.  Not quite like Utah, is it??!!?  We took the DLR and tube and discovered that we really liked the area around the tube stop for the church.  Probably need to go exploring.  As we were about to turn the corner to go up the street 2 young girls in skirts approached us and asked if we were looking for the LDS church.  I think we look the part!  We said yes and they told us that they tried to get in but all the doors were locked and no one answered the buzzer.  We thought maybe it could be stake conference so we skipped out and headed to the Columbia Road Flower Market.  It was a lot of fun and there were so many lovely flowers for quite a good price!  Made me wish I had an English garden to work in.  I bought a white calla lily for my kitchen table and it's beautiful.  There were a lot of other fun shops that I will have to go back and visit.
We made our way to the train station and happened upon a Donut shop with baked donuts.  Yes, we bought some, yes they were good.  We rode home and had a lazy afternoon watching football and tennis.  Andy had to leave for the airport around 2.30 so the rest of the afternoon was me and the kids and a grouchy Alex.  Indian dinner the kids struggled to eat.  Then coloring contests and love note writing.  Wow, I'm ready for them to go to bed!
Andy is on his way to NYC to get his visa worked out.  It's a long story, but I'm cursing the idiot border patrol guy at London City Airport.  He thinks he's SOOOOOO important!  I'll work on adding Andy's pictures later.  I'm tired!

I think you can be fairly certain by the time they get the red tape officiousness settled, it'll be time to fly home! LOL
