From London back to Onbekommerd

We got a lot done during our three days in London: sorted out the bank account, got Lyn a UK cell phone number and lots of MegaBytes for her iPhone. Also completed the paperwork for the residence card and sent it off. And made an appointment (for early May) with the Dutch embassy to submit the naturalisation request.
Yesterday's weather  was very nice and we went for a long walk along the Thames. To a place called Teddington lock (boaties have to go and see any lock within walking distance) and back all the way to Kew, it must have been around 20 Km in all. Glorious sunshine.
This morning we got up at 5.30 to get to Heathrow in time for an 8.30 flight. Arrived in Alkmaar just before 1 pm and by 2 pm Onbekommerd was back in her element! Rinsed the water tank and tied up in the town 'gracht' (canal) in Alkmaar, ready for the cheese market tomorrow.
We are really happy to be back on our 'second home' everyting is fine and it feels familiar and 'homely'. We'll have an early night.
