Thursday 24 January - Visit with the Foster Family

Our Oyster cards took us to Bromley South via Victoria.  There was the possibility of delays on the line and so we took an earlier fast train and arrived at Bromley South in plenty of time. I took the opportunity to check out where my father used to work, Harris' is now a beauty parlour. The coffee roasting place has been turned into a burger joint.  While waiting to Frances to arrive there was a loud confrontation between three people, one of whom did not have a ticket and the railway police. It was very loud and aggressive at one point but the police handled things very well and managed to calm things down.

Frances met us and Paul, Liz' husband took us to the house in Hayes Lane that Linda and Frances have.  Their parents Trevor (my cousin) and Doris have a very nice house very close indeed.  I hadn't seen Trevor since 1988 and had never met Doris, Liz or Paul. We had a good chatand talked over many family stories.

Linda and Frances provided an excellent lunch and the whole day was a very happy occasion.

We had a quick ride back to London and got oourselves ready for the flight back to Ottawa tomorrow.
