Monday 2 May
We tried going on line last night to be told our internet had run out!!! So we have topped up in Guildford. We were up early to catch the Eurostar train thru the chunnel to London. Climbed aboard the "I spid" train" and travelled through pretty countryside in France and then through the chunnel which took 25 mins, and suddenly we were in UK. The arrival at the station was close to where we stayed in Russell square. I remained in the station with our baggage and Rich opted to walk to our hotel and collect the other suitcases, and caught a taxi back to the station - bladdy freezing wind!! We noticed once more an abundounce of police and security people lurking around, and wondered what was up. We have learnt that the "chief of terror" has been dissolved. Spoke to my cousin's son who is in the Brit army and he reckons it is fact, he hasn't been able to slip out of this attack!! I wonder. Had a quiet dinner with Rosalee, who has a lovely little home, and it was good to see her after quite a while. Sally her daughter and Phil are coming over tonight so it will be good to see her after many many years. We have a small room which is for guests in what is probably a retirement home, but goes by another name.
