Yes, we are back. Yes, we had too much fun. No we did not want to leave. I think that bodes well for our return to the UK this summer :-)
We lucked out and had beautiful weather on Friday, our last full day in London. Roxi and I went to the Tate Modern for a little gift store shopping. This is the Millennium Bridge, btw.

And turn around at the end of the bridge for a lovely view of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
I saw these funny ads for Marmite cereal bars in Waterloo Station.
Despite my new-ish-found appreciation for Marmite, I’m not sure I would go for this cereal bar ;-)
On Friday, we visited with my nephew who just happened to be in town from Texas. We also went out to Surrey to take a peek at a town where we might move. We’ll be going back to England to look for a house in a couple of months. This is NOT my favourite part about being an expat. Still, it will be nice to move back to England.

Welcome back sounds like a wonderful trip!Pictures are amazing.
It was awesome, Kathy! How was your ski trip?
I love all the bridge pics.
That’s exciting about going back to England. Did you guys always know you were going back for sure or was it just a possibility? Will Roxy go to the same school?
BTW, have you ever been to Scotland?
No, Roxi won’t be going back to her old school. We’re trying to work something out on that front… stay tuned!
And no, we haven’t been to Scotland yet. But it’s definitely on the list. We’ll probably try to do a long weekend up there one of these days.
I’m glad you had a good time. Are you definitely coming back?
Akelamalu, right now it looks like “yes” for a return to England. I won’t say 100%, but I’ll say “very good chance” :-)
I understand your feeling of England as “home”–part of me still does, too!
Kathy, it just felt so good to be back in England. But then when we arrived in the NL, it felt good to be back here too…
wow, exciting that you’re going back to England, we’ll stay tuned! I guess the bikes will still come in handy!
Christine, I am not so sure about biking in England. I have a feeling we’ll only be doing recreational biking there.
Personally, I’d vote Kent (because I am self-obsessed like that) but yay for coming back!
I did no realise at first that you were coming back so soon. How long will you stay in UK then?
Emm, I didn’t realize you were in Kent!
My husband’s office is in London, so let’s just say we’ll be in the UK for the “foreseeable future”…
Yay!! That is great news (again with the self-obsession!)
Yay! You’re back! Did you get hit by the storm I’ve been hearing so much about??
Nice to see London again through this post! :)
I’m so glad you are moving back! Looking forward to being in those London pictures with you sometime next year.
Marmite cereal bars? Ugh.
