Sis and mrinal here for 10 days ...yeah I kept telling them that spending so much money for 10 days in London is hardly worth it.....but supposedly they don't have leaves.

They reached on Friday...and believe it or not the flight landed 20 mins before and in 15 mins they were out of immigration. I could not believe it. I was supposed to meet Sat (my sister's soon goin to be SIL) and bith of us were to take the tube to Heathrow. Now, when you meet a stranger you generally do not think she would talk non stop......but then there are normal people and there is Sat.....sucha non stop chatterbox...so the tube journey was anything but boring.
The weekend just flew off ...Sis has already been here, but it was Mrinal's first time, so he seemed to be interested in knowing about how we live here. Thats something which I like....rather than being touristy and doing things as such...I prefer to follow my host's day to day life as thats what give syou the true feel of the place......so I like going grocery shopping, markets etc etc.....yeah I know it sounds crazy.

Yesterday night they left for Scotland and will be back after 2 days. Ofcourse Sat also was with us over the weekend and as you rightly guessed it was a laugh having her around.....does that woman ever stop talking......the answer is No. So she will be back on Friday and we plan to do soem day trips around london provided the weather permits us to. Plans are Isle of Wight, Leeds Castle, Bournemouth beach.
