March 17/2009

Most packing done yesterday, but still enough for busy morning. Maggi picks us up at noon (boxes and microwave left in room for storage). Lovely sunny lunch on M&M's balcony and last view of the Med, but hopes for all of us next year in cyprus.

Happily there are British newspapers for the plane so we get to sate ourselves with news and crosswords. Very nice lamb stew and creme caramel as well - and we're early in at Heathrow. Tube t Swiss Cottage and J collects the key to number 20 Belsize Park from its spot taped to the oor of the Welby. He's some time about it as it's taped so well that better fingernails are required. The flat is OK - pretty basic but clean and a good location.
