A Quick trip through London


Jan 8th to 13th - On our way to India we stopped off at London for a few days to see family and friends. This was our first trip to London in Winter and it was cold and damp and deary. We spent most of our time in Purley where our relatives live and enjoyed our lovely grandniece and our triplet grandnephews. They are all into Wii and I had taken them a 'Big Brain' game that challenged them (and me!). We went into the city once and met friends, including Alison Blunt (Domicile and Diaspora) and Jayani (a research student)
I was also able to meet Glen Duncan the Anglo-Indian author of the best seller 'The Bloodstone Papers' in a local pub, where a few (!) pints of bitters ensured for stimulating conversation on race and ethnicity.
