London Safe 'n Sound


We think we are in London - after hearing stories about the weather ( we had a beautiful sunny first day), had the tube to ourselves yesterday morning at 8.30am and we were out of the airport within 30 minutes of landing so yes we are very surprised. We did find all the people last night when we returned on the tube at 5.00pm. You have heard about sardines in a can well these two Fishers were canned, crammed and jammed! Absolutely incredible the volume of people.
Yesterday we caught the tube and the National Rail out of London to Peterborough where there was a huge motorhome show whilst we didn't manage to purchase a camper we are heading today to Upminster to view one and if this doesn't suit then we will be off to Manchester tomorrow. I am sure everyone has heard that London is expensive - oh yes!!! We had purchased our train tickets to Peterborough and bought off peak tickets which meant we had to be back on the train before 4.00pm imagine this - two kiwis with matching back packs sprinting from the Black London Cab into the train station down the platform and the doors of the train literally closing behind us. Roll on the Amazing Race for us!
We have managed to negotiate the tube and the overground rail but really haven't seen London yet and will not do so yet as our priority is finding a suitable camper. We have seen the London Eye from the hotel room and the photo is of us at Piccadilly Circus yesterday morning waiting for the bank to open. We also had a walk around Soho and are planning on going back there tonight for a meal.
We have joked about being on a monopoly board when we have seen Piccadilly, Waterloo Station, Regent St etc.
As it is now 5.50am Saturday 25th we may as well get on the tube and find a camper.

  4. Hi Guys, great to hear your news and that you are having an amazing time. Sorry for the delay in replying as Pauline's computer crashed and we've just got into the Blog thing! Your campervan looks impressive and no doubt you are wanting to hit the road. On the lookout for a neighbour to do another undercover job... removing gnomes from 7 Peregrine Close patio!! (haven't met new neighbours yet but have met the 3 cats!!). We get a great view from our deck..thanks guys! Look forward to your next update. Cheers Howard & Pauline

  5. The Truth About Growth
    A person’s body actively grows until he reaches the age of 21, where further growth, although not impossible, may not be as visible as before. During puberty, a person’s body is at its height to produce growth hormones. The growth is astoundingly fast, you can almost measure the changes every week.
    However, at the age of 21, the body begins to produce less and less of growth hormones, drastically slowing down the speed at which we grow. The growth is very minimal; you can hardly see any difference from the past year and today.
    Because the body’s hormones reach a balance state during this age and beyond, there is almost no hope of improving one’s height, unless the growth hormones are again released. Now this is the point where experts tried to figure out how to release the growth hormones that are either being produced too few or are hardly being produced at all. Visit here to get more about this, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
    This is where human growth hormone releasers take the stage. Since the problem of many small people is that their glands produce very few growth hormones, it is only logical to have something to trigger it. Many products that trigger the release of growth hormones are now being developed and produced in the market. One example is the Growth Flex V Pro System.
    Of course, these products also require that a person become physically active. This way, the bones and muscles will slowly adapt to the increasing level of growth hormone production in the body. Some exercise techniques are being taught to maximize growth levels. Take tour here at, http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
