Had to wait for a while at the Passport Office but I finally got my new passport. Then I made my way to Richmond to see Paul. It was the first time I'd visited his renovated house when he was actually living there & I was impressed how cosy & charming he's made it. Noah has grown even more - he towers over me now - it's been fun watching him grow up & watch the changes. Also I was delighted to see @aliyaraphael who came straight over from work & cooked us a delicious meal. So kind of her & it was lovely to see her - gorgeous as ever. All the family have become such good friends to me & have been a great support. Oh, those #iosconnections! We'd reconnected with Paul when Aliya was a babe in arms at a friends' house & since then we always try & meet up when I'm in London .... and also on Ios of course. I'm very lucky in life that I've met some amazing people & many of them have become friends. Today I'm feeling absolutely knackered, but as the sun is shining (yes, I'm in London & it's shone all the time I've been here!) I'll go for a stroll to Portobello Market & look around there this morning. So many fun things to do & see that don't cost any money #Jan2017 #lambisstory #iosfriends #winterinlondon2017 (at Richmond, London)
