Meeting the Judges

26 June 2008
London

A quietish day today, but we went into Covent Garden this afternoon to meet up with Peter and Jan's old friend Chris Judge, and Chris's parents who moved out of Zimbabwe and relocated to London just under a year ago. Here we are in a cafe in the old apple market.



As waiting staff were in rather scarce supply, the pigeons were doing most of the table clean-up.



Quite by coincidence, as Mum and Dad and I walked past the Strand back to the tube, we saw this makeshift commemoration to the victims of Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe.

The Judges are all well, and I think very glad to be in the UK rather than Zimbabwe.

The cricket has been all over the news, and there's been lots of gentlemanly English coughing and spluttering in The Times about the umpire who cancelled the test match because of non-existent rain. Mostly, everyone else is interested in the football, and now Wimbledon.
