Well, Joy arrived from Kingston for a nine-day stay on March 31st. I met her at King's Cross station in London. We travelled by train to Newcastle to spend a few days with Kate and Sean. From Newcastle, we returned to London where we stayed overnight (thanks to hotwire.com Website, I get fantastic hotel deals) in a Hilton hotel and went to see Porgy and Bess, an excellent musical. It was playing at the Savoy theatre, next door to the Savoy hotel.
Joy lived in London as a child and so she finds it very exciting to be there. We saw a few sights and met with Erich the next day. He came over from Germany. We all travelled to Somerton on good old Berry's Coaches. The drive takes us past Stonehenge ... always a very exciting scene to behold.
We all celebrated Easter together. It was April 8th and we were able to have dinner outside. Brian and Lili were here ... as was Kate! She surprised us by coming down for the weekend. Her very kind friend Shmaila worked all of her shifts for her so that she could spend Joy's last few days in England with her.
