Just over a week ago, April 30th, our first visitor arrived in London. Mary flew from Seattle, sans sleep, to arrive at our door Friday afternoon. It was great to see her and we had a fun and exciting week together. We enjoyed seeing the awesome musical Billy Elliot, walking through Borough Market, relaxing at home with a few movies, lunch at Harvey Nichols, exercising in the rain, cooking, and shopping for souvenirs and scarves. Mary also treated us to a wonderful dinner at our favorite spot, Tom's Kitchen. It was fantastic! We made a great dinner at home on her last night in town, and invited Jeri's coworker over to infuse the atmosphere with true English spirit. Being that it was election night, we all had a blast acting as political pundits. Here are a few highlights of the week...

(yes, that is a shrimp... and yes, I tore off his head... and yes, I love Jeri)
What a great week! Thanks, Mary, for coming to visit.
With love,
Amy
We would like to take an extra moment to thank Mary for replenishing our stock of Peanut Butter. We were just about out - finishing our 4th Costco-size container in two months! I primarily take the blame for ingesting that much of the stuff...

I am even more excited to come now (if that's possible!) after seeing your pictures with Mary.
