We were in London this weekend for our final visit before heading home. We've had such fun times in London over the past year, thanks in large part to Griff and Julie's hospitality and lovely home. We had a great time with Griff at their house while Julie was, sadly, away in the States. On Thursday Erik and I visited the House of Lords, courtesy of Baroness Caroline Cox who Erik met a few months ago and is a friend of Bishop Ben Kwashi (who is a friend of Christ Church SA). It was a really cool experience to go into Westminster, see the amazing interior architecture (lots of gold, high ceilings, paintings and statues everywhere), sit in the lobby of the House of Lords while different Lords and bishops walked by, and to sit on the floor of the House of Lords for a bit while they discussed and debated.
We were also in town for Rod Green's ordination (Erik and Jan went to the ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral). Erik said it was a great, and long, ceremony and we went to celebrate with them at their house in East London that evening.
Saturday we went to the Science Museum. It was great. Carter was so excited to run around and see rockets and astronauts and cars hanging on the wall and from the ceiling. The highlight was the Bob the Builder live action show. It was both a performance and an interactive show. We were split into four groups and each group had a job to do to help Bob and Wendy fix something. He LOVED it.
