Day 1 in London I got up early to hit the bakeries(scone, whole grain breads) and the bookstores(english books!). Always my first stops. Before heading out I checked the news which made me cry. It's a blustery sunny coooold day and somehow the sun here is so much brighter than elsewhere, probably because it's so rare. I got back and checked the news again which made me soil my pants so I think I need to stop. Last night we went to the theater to see Come From Away, the musical about the 7000 airline passengers stuck in Newfoundland after 9/11. It was a fabulous show but felt a little too close to home with what is happening in Europe. This morning the news is only worse so I made a donation to CARE and we went for a long walk in Richmond, an area in southern London where Ted Lasso takes place. We're back now and again watching the news. It's not getting better. xxoo me
