In London once again

I have five seconds to write this - when the boys are back from powdering their noses we'll finish the movie Bagdad Cafe.

So, we are in London for two days. We have visited the British Museum for the first time in our lives (O. and I). Not seen the famous must-sees. Did see the splendid prehistorical European and medieval collections (including Sutton Hoo).

Tomorrow will hopefully see an exhibition of Paris post-impressionists in Tate Britain. And this afternoon had my first Real Ale: Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Bitter in pub The Rising Sun - after visiting one of England's most magical churches I have seen until now: Saint Bartholomew the Great, the oldest parish church in London (twelfth century), where we heard the church choir rehearse for a Christmas evensong, in an atmosphere suffused with Christmas tree and incense.

Much impressed by church, museum (with its new Great Court) and ale, which may have pushed Guinness from the first place with its fresh lemony taste (and it was NOT lauw). Looking forward to tomorrow and the days after when I'll show O. around in Exeter. Finding it strange to speak so much Dutch again. Being happy with the much needed distraction and fun offered by the hospitable presence of M., and O. Have to go now. Sorry for bad English/language in general.

Cheerio...
