London 3-13th October

Since arriving at the Kazakoff household in London, I have been recovering from the hectic pace that we set. The first few days were overcast and rainy so I was quite content to snuggle up on the couch watch some TV, talk with the family and catch up with my grandchildren.
Annie and I have had a couple days in London and this week, we went to the Gauguin Exhibition. The largest collection of his paintings ever assembled in one spot.
While Jo and I were driving through Scotland, Ireland and England, we saw all these signs - "Beware of the Deer" but did we see one deer? NO! Last Sunday we went to Richmond Park and it has been a deer sanctuary since 1600. I was able to get a few photos of the deer.
India's teacher invited me in to look around the school and then I went up to the school and gave them a talk on Australia - particularly the Red Centre. India is really interested in anything to do with nature and she can name the trees and the birds. She is learning about Egypt so reads everything she can find about it. There are only 16 students in India's class but she goes to school from 9.00 AM - 4.00 PM. Cash who is in reception, goes from 9.00 - 3.30 PM - long days for them. Cash is off to a birthday party today.
Yesterday, I went into London with the express purpose of photographing the Tower Bridge. Was a bit cloudy when I left but turned out to be a beautiful day. Ended up walking miles from Trafalgar Square back to Victoria Station.
Off to Devizers next week and then Norfolk - the following week.
