A highlight of our visit to London was visiting our dear friend and almost extra-daughter Caitlin Homes in her new flat in the southern London suburb of Lewisham. It might be age but we thought back to the time years before when Caitin had walked into the church at West Hawthorn after being found by Jesus and the years tat followed where we had the privelidge to see her grow as a godly and bright person.
Her first floor unit, a section of an old house gives her a wonderful open feel in othewise crowded London with lots of the feeling of space, light and sunshine (when it is there!)
Caitlin now serves as a teacher at a girls school about an hour away from her home. She had just finished marking exam papers which heralded the end of the school year. She was looking forward to turning the flat which she had just aquired into her very own home during her holiday.
The maritime museam was nearby at Greenwich and Caitlin gave us a personal tour of this intrieging place. We stood both sides of the line that signified the point of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and saw the changes to navigation and observing the stars that made overseas visits much safer than they ever were. Of course the exhibition concluded with a display on Global Positioning Satelite (GPS) navigation. The same GPS system we were using in the car helped us find our way to the museam.
We had a lovely day together, in many ways it seemed that we had never been apart but we hadn’t seen Caitlin for 18 months! With the help of a local 'bobby' she guided us to a coin laundry where we attended to our washing. Then the time ended too quickly after a meal together at the best Hamburger Restaurant in the world (I think).
