Hallooooo,
Hope all well! We are shacked up in sunny London town after a 24-hour odyssey from Brazil followed by a whistlestop tour through the Fens and beyond, and preparing to move on to the Côte d'Azur!
Our flight over went about as well as it could have - the only delays were caused by our inability to read basic information, and following the crowd into a huge customs line instead of actually going towards our own gate, but getting out at Gatwick was a breeze. We had a bit of trouble getting our hi-tech all-bluetooth hire car working without much in the way of working internet but were soon on our way to Huntingdon, where we stayed the night at a friend of Gabi's and stocked up on English delicacies like pork pies and raspberries.
The next day we took a while hitting the road due to more technical snags but eventually got to Bungay for a pub lunch / Sunday roast with grandpa, then on to Brenna & Callum''s for an intense trampoline workout, song recitals and a crash course in Brazilian TikTok. We then gave Ossian and Callum a lift into London, returned the car and headed to our Airbnb in Finsbury Park, which is basically a basement but a very well-stocked and well-located one.
Yesterday we were in Camden for lunch, then Gabi hit the shops while I stayed on technically working, and we met up with Ben in the evening before heading to our old haunt Pappagone's for a pizza - not 100% sure what the plan for today is yet but food is a central concern as always.
In the meantime I have a new compilation which I found down the back of the sofa, and my phrase of the day means "if there's no confusion there's no fun", which seems to apply so far.
See you soon!
Frod Hull
