- Monday, 19th April, 1965[b]London weather is really crazy. Winter was supposed to have finished in February, yet here it is late April and today has been freezing - we have had some sun, then rain, high winds and finally snow.

- 26th December 2011Another quiet day, which was needed after the excitement of yesterday. We both woke up still full, and had to skip breakfast (which is very rare for me). The house was full of family once again, and nearly all of Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Dec 28, 2011
- 25th December 2011First thing we did this morning was Skype Danny’s family, who were all together in one household so we got to see everyone at once, which was great. Amazing how much the nephews have grown. Around mid-morning Danny cooked breakfast Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Dec 28, 2011
- 24th December 2011Can’t say we did a lot today, which was good for a change. Family came in and out all day, we packed up our luggage and we sent some more stuff home. This junk we have seems to be growing Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Dec 28, 2011
- Saturday, 10th April, 1965[b]I finally got a letter the other day from Louie Brothers. Apparently she has been sick and that is why she did not write earlier. Scole is about 90 miles away from London, and as next weekend is Easter, and Posted by Ozac in Letters From Swinging London | Dec 25, 2011
- Monday, 5th April, 1965[b]Last Friday I received the letter you sent to Tony’s address, and I got another today - very pleasant surprise.

- 20th December 2011The morning was spent cleaning the car, which was dirtier than we thought (even though we had just cleaned it). A final, quick vacuum then it was off to Lymington to drop off the van. The man who bought it Posted by kimdanny in Kim and Danny 2011 | Dec 24, 2011

London was very hectic – out until 11pm each night. The manager of our second hostel actually thought we were working in London as we were out so much.
