Our hosts and dear friends, Anne and Mike

Just about 2 hours west of Heathrow, about 2 hours, is the town of Reading. We took the bus from the airport to Reading, were we were met by Mike in his Mercedes, and driven to their beoutiful home in a small village called,"Purley on Thames".Their house is located about half a block from the Thames River, just down from the Locks

over the Thames

Although because of the delay we landed at Heathrow over a 1/2 hour late, it did give us an oppurtunity to take some great sgots over london.

That's the Thames River down below, bridges and all!

Next!

Over London!!

we were held over London and had to do circles because of the storm we ran into

The Beginning
