DRIVING MADE EASY


At first I was quite intimidated by London commuters, cabs, and buses all driving on the wrong side of the road. Today Julie and I saw this traffic light which made all of England driving crystal clear. Just when I thought I'd seen everything.
This is a roundabout with 3 roads merging. Near as I can figure, you drive around until you find the color of light that you need. Then you exit promptly staying on the left side of the road, pull over and get out the damn map! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!

Hi Phil and Julie,
I'm over at my friend's house reading your correspondence! I don't envy you being in England; it's so cozy here at home. And I miss everybody.

I am so glad you did this web site. Your first drawing sounded like crap and corruption to me. I dearly love you both,

God bless,
Mother

Re-reading my comment to you, what I meant to say was "your first dwelling sounded like..."

Not drawing! That didn't make sense.
Love,
Mother

We are having a great time seeing places we've never seen before. We meet new people and do something new everyday. And our flat is nice and cozy, but without a fireplace. We are very lucky to have an experience like this for a few years in our life.
Love Phil

Nice traffic light. Not the kind of thing we see over here in Eastern Washington, If us hillbillies were to see something like this we would have a melt down. Keep the comments comming and the pics. We all miss ya. P.S. how is work going Julie.
Also DId you get the harley Phill. At 10.50 a gallon it will come in handy as long as the weather is good.
Lots of love
your brother.

Terry Haven't got the harley over here yet. It would cost $50.00 to fill it up here. That will come when we ship our furniture, if I decide to bring it We could be in London through the end of the year. We do just fine with the train system. Phil
