Day 39 26 August

This morning we woke to more rain, but by the time we set out for Mass it had cleared.  It was really good to visit Westminster Cathedral again, our last "walk about" in London.  Of course, we had to pack up once again and check out of the hotel.  The suitcases are a little lighter!

We are disappointed we did not get to experience the cricket at the Oval, but then that is always a possibility with this sport.  We will catch up on TV

Today we travelled by bus to Anne's place in Lytham.  We left London at 1.30 pm and arrived here at 8 pm.  It was a long trip but very pleasant with lots to see as we moved through the various areas.  We had a 30 min stop at Birmingham to grab a bite to eat etc.

Anne had prepared for us so we are really spoilt and we are looking forward to our time here with her. What a beautiful area this is, quite close to the sea and lots of green.  It think we will be able to catch up on some good walking.  Anne's two storied home is lovely with that touch of NZ in the photographs and the art works.  

Must away to bed now.  It will be the beginning of another new week for you all - school, work, commitments.   Love to all.

    Sounds like you're a having a good time. That is a shame about the cricket, that would have been great to go and see. I am currently on holiday for 2 weeks which is good. I had a camp during the first week of the holidays. We tramped over Maungatautari and then camped at lake Karapiro. The next day we walked to Cambridge from lake Karapiro and then kayaked 20km down the Waikato river to Hamilton. The camp was fun, however we did get a bit of rain which was a pain. I am back in Rotorua for the week now, we are going over to Hamilton on Saturday for Anna's birthday. Sports updates: All Blacks beat the Wallabies on the weekend, Otago won the shield off Waikato and Team New Zealand won the louis vuitton

    Love James
