On Friday night, Lyn came back from a succesful course in Glasgow (which lived up to the 'cold and wet' reputation). And yesterday (Saturday), we assisted Sean with the move to his new address. First Sean and I took the bus to Hounslow to collect the bedding which he had ordered on-line. It should have been delivered to us, but because of the Christmas workload, the company did not deliver in time (first time I have experienced that here), but they allowed us to collect it from the nearest store. Then the three of us went (with all of Sean's worldly belongings in 2 suitcases and a few random packages) by underground to Wimbledon Park station, which is a 5 minute walk from the house which he now shares with 3 others (see the previous post for more on this arrangement). Although it was dark by the time we got there (around 5.30), the area has a nice 'villagey' feel and the house seems fine. Here are pictures, first of us at Kew Gardens station (showing the luggage) and then of Sean in front of the house.
On the weather front: it is now getting quite a bit colder. We heard on TV that it has been the dryest and warmest autumn in I don't know how many years, which explains why we have not really had any problems with the weather at all. But for next week, we could get a bit of frost (and snow in Scotland and on the high grounds in the North of England but so far not here). In two weeks time, we'll be going to South Africa for a few weeks to celebrate Christmas with the family over there (Greg and our parents and siblings). We look forward to that, altough we'll of course miss Sean a lot.
