The flight in to London Heathrow was fine. It was great to be met at the airport by someone we knew and not have to brave our own way to a hotel. Mike's place is in Banbury, about an hour from London. He's given us the upper level to his flat which has a large bedroom and its own washroom, given us the keys to his car, and left us to our own plans. This morning we wanted to go to his church in Cheltenham, and he just happened to be preaching today, so we tagged along. Since there were 2 services, we snuck out of the first service with Hellie, another person from our Israel tour group. She showed us around the town, including a famous clock that blows bubbles upon the hour. We attended the 2nd service and met a few other people from our Israel tour, including Lewis and Pete. Pete is part of a well known band in the UK called the Pendragon.
Back to Banbury for an "official" Israel tour group reunion. There were 9 of us, which is about one third of us. It was a great afternoon sitting in Mike's yard chatting while Anton BBQ'd. There were Peter and Gill, Jan and Chris, and Roger and Carole. Some of them drove hours for this reunion, we really appreciated it.
