We’d been
talking about heading to Camden Town since arriving in London but hadn’t made
it there despite all the London Kiwi’s (and others) saying we had to go there. Today was the day!

We both woke

Not a lot
admittedly, but…it DID settle on cars, fences and fields so we’ll take it!
A chilly
morning trip on tube and train as the snow fell and excited texts kept us
updated from Laura at work who felt like she was in a snow globe! Very cool.... Read more >

On our
wanderings last night we spotted a church that looked like their service could

things ... Read more >
