We left New Zealand, exactly one year ago on the First! We were talking to Dylan and Sabrina on Skype when they reminded us, so we celebrated one year - NZ time! On Saturday lots of the tube lines were down and we spent 3 hours on tubes trying to get from home to the hairdressor and then to Greenwhich to meet up with Colin and Helen (my cousins), which we did. We had lunch in the pub then learn't all about where Greenwhich meantime comes from as we took a strole around the park. The picture with the red ball on the spire, drops at 1pm each day and the ships used this to reset their clocks! Very interesting! Saturday night was spent at home as Josh and I had both started to come down with the flu. On Sunday after church we went out to Bluewater, a massive shopping center with Ben and Cherie, friends of ours from Josh's work. They drove us out their which was great! The evening was spent at home in bed, and as I write this, I am still in bed with the flu! These English germs keep getting the better of us!

From left to right: Me, Colin, Helen, and Colin's friend.
The view from the top of the hill in Greewhich Park, looking out to the Maratime Museum, in the park, then over the water to Canary Wharf, if you look closely enough you can see the 'U' shape of the isle of dogs.
See the red ball:
