After
walking the dogs and packing up our last few things we headed back toward
London town. All trains running without a hitch and we got home in time to have
a little rest – and for Bray to watch more How
I Met Your Mother – before getting ready to go out again.
Roni’s
cousins Stephen and Jeremy live in Lambeth and had invited us to dinner. Off we
went, catching the tube after purchasing a couple of beverages to go with
dinner. Found the way to their flat
with no trouble and arrived just as Stephen was finishing teaching a guitar
lesson upstairs. J sat us down and got us chatting until Stephen was finished
then it was dinner time. Stephen had made a delicious lasagne and J’s salad
creation skills are definitely up there!
Great food,
tasty wine and fantastic conversation, Brayden had never met them and Roni last
had a face to face conversation with them back in 2006 at a family reunion so
there was definitely a lot to catch up on!
We heard
about Stephen’s future plans, music, study, decisions coming up, options,
composition and gigs. J shared about his work too, we loved the tapir and
penguin gaming vid – priceless! We had our turn sharing about Bray’s proposal,
how we got together in the beginning and some stories of our travels. J was off
to Amsterdam the next day with friends so we got to share in that excitement
too! A tour of their place, meeting the flatmate Andy, reading posters and Roni
left an imprint of her face to prove we had been there.
Eventually
we had to leave as it was almost time for the last tube – we didn’t want to,
the cousins are COOL! No tube issues on the way home and once home some
internet usage and a cuppa before bed in wee hours.
