Off to Greenwich

So, what is happening in my world on The World?  We are currently at sea on our way to Greenwich, England.  I watched the disappointing results of the men's semi-finals at the French Open at Roland Garros on TV last evening.  Having been lucky enough to have been there in person for a couple of days last week, I find myself personally invested in the outcome!  Oh, well.........We had a wonderful dinner party for 12 of our onboard friends (from New York, Arizona, UK, Sweden, Africa and Australia!) and it was great fun!  We all ate and drank too much and nobody wanted to leave.....After working out on the dreaded Elyptical machine for only a few minutes this AM we went to breakfast at Tides, one of four of our ship's great restaurants.  The view of the water is phenominal and I was able to get a great look at the only windmill farm I have ever seen in the water.  The next thing to come into view were The White Cliffs of Dover.  I assumed, (never assume) that they are made of white stone, only to discover that they are in fact white chalk.  I was also told that in a nearby field there exists a huge, perfectly formed horse made of chalk that has been there for hundreds of years and can be clearly seen only by air.  Hm.....so how and by whom was this done? We are now heading up the Thames River on our way to our anchorage at Greenwich and the greatly anticipated arrival of my granddaughter Bayley and my son-in-law Spencer who will be joining us on our "London" stay.  As you will remember Greenwich is the location where time begins (Greenwich MeanTime).  We will visit the famous clock, which never looses time and is accurate to the second.  So, I wonder, if I stand where the clock is, will I never get older?  Or better yet, if I walk backwards from that point, can I turn back time? (Just kidding!)  More on that later.  After making sure that the family is comfortably onboard, Wilf and I head into London,( about 30 min. away), to take some other New York friends to dinner at the prestigious and private Mark's Club, one of our favorite London eateries.  It is a very blessed and wonderful life that The World makes possible.  The only thing that would make it perfect is if all of the rest of our family members could be here with us......miss all of you.  xoxo
