Beks begins

Well, I'm here, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the rest of the partakers in this adventure.

I'm currently sitting at a station in Ely, a small town known for it's beautiful cathedral, waiting to catch a train to Cambridge and freezing my fingers off trying to write this.

Took the train down from London yesterday to meet the Richards in Guildford. Had a lovely afternoon with Fiona Richards being shown around the area. Lunch in a pub full of Christmas lunchers, tour of Shere, cute tiny town with old houses and cobbled streets, dinner with Fiona, Claire and Jenny Smith at Wagamama's-tofu, yum!-where we caught up and learnt secrets about Jenny that we are not supposed to tell John Richards!

So basically a good start to our December. Tonight back to London. Will try and get to the city and see some different things before siblings arrive. Suggestions welcome.

Sorry so sparse and uncreative with this second entry - fingers and brain a little numb. Quality will improve, especially when more creative, better writers arrive.
