The Neighborhood


Yesterday John and I talked to some rental agencies about renting a flat. We have an appointment to see a flat on Monday, and will be calling to make more appointments this week.

We have explored the large department store, Jarrold.

And the grocery store, Tesco.

I picked up a guide that lists things going on in town. Then I discovered they also have a website: Outline.

I've been looking through our Britain guide books and discovered this: The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Maybe they take storytellers...

We have purchased umbrellas and a power strip (so that John can plug in all the components to make Vonage work).

Today we went for a walk in the rain. You hear that it rains a lot in England, and apparently this has been an especially rainy year. So I suppose we should get used to it.

The temperature has been in the high 50s to low 60s (Fahrenheit) pretty much every day. I have discovered this is warm enough for a t-shirt if you walk for long time.

Here are some pictures of the neighborhood:
