We're having a wonderful time, and everything is going splendidly so far -- we've been to London, seen John's dad, aunt, uncle, and family (Joe, Paul sends his best regards); we've seen a few sights, tracked some Plath and Hughes, driven into Wales (where the Welsh sheep declined to be photographed), and spent time with John's Mim and Nana in ( Read more... )
