Yesterday doesn’t count as I had gotten off the plane and was quite knackered, but there was still some fun & some frustrations.
Landed at Gatwick, which seems to be under a huge renovation. Got through Customs fairly quickly, with the Brits believing I am no threat to British National Security. So that bit was easy. [...]

I have been informed by a certain Mr Cantrell that I am under orders to come to LBW2010 and Mr Geeklawyer concurs; so I have no choice, I am under orders from two peeps who “believe” they are my overlords. Not only is my presence demanded/required I have to work!

Met up with Mr Cantrell at St. Stephen’s Tavern near Westminster tube station at 10am and shortly thereafter Mr Squirrel sauntered in. We had a lovely breakfast at the tavern, with some time to spare to make it for a boat trip to Hampton Court.

I am packed and ready to go, nearly. Just need to pour myself into some clothes and I’m good to go. I am taking with me a suitcase, a backpack and a purse. I have dedicated the backpack to items which I cannot live without if the airline loses my luggage — basically the backpack [...]

I have started to think a little more deeply about my upcoming sojourn in the Land of Bangers & Mash.
Mr Deviant Chaperone requires two items from me – a Hello Kitty and 500ml of Maple Syrup

After much thought I have decided to forego the pleasures of the City of Lights and instead travel to the land of tea and crumpets — England. Not the United Kingdom, but England (I don’t plan on going to Scotland, N Ireland or Wales).
