August 12, 2002
From Istanbul I flew to London to visit my cousin Dorothy and her husband Roger. I thought that this would be a pleasant and uneventful week - a few days to unwind and relax after the bedlam in Asia. Wrong! It was a marvelous and exciting week.
Dorothy and Roger live in Brookman’s Park, a charming village outside of London. The first day we strolled into the village centre and stopped by the chemist, the greengrocer and the fishmonger. Many of the one story brick homes, they call them bungalows, are surrounded by cheerful flower gardens meticulously maintained. There are few traffic lights and not a McD in sight. I would say that very little has changed here in fifty years. I love it.
