Nick’s brothers were the next set of visitors, and we had a great time doing the two extremes of England with them: the back-to-nature experience of camping in the Lake District Park, and the sheik urban style of London. When Eddie and Greg flew in, we gave them an hour or two to nap, then drove the 3 hours north to the Lakes, where we stayed in a simple cabin surrounded by sheep in a shepherd’s field our first night. We had a great time away from it all (including showers) and had a couple of great hikes when it wasn’t raining, and plenty of tea.
After a few days of work, we all went down to London for a long weekend and enjoyed doing the tourist thing for the time. We stayed at a great hostel near Hyde Park (I don’t know how the neighbours let a hostel operate there) spent the weekend popping out of tube stations like gophers. We saw the British Museum, the Odeon Cinema, the wax museum, walked the Thames at night, and had a proper full English breakfast before Eddie and Greg went to Scotland to 'ride out' the last leg of their journey.
It was awesome to have brothers here visiting, and we definitely miss their dry humor. Really all we can say is that you have as much love for us as you are showing in the picture below!
