Planes, Trains, Taxis, The Tube, Overground trains and my aching feet!

We just returned from house (flat) hunting in South London.  What a rollercoaster ride it was.  We were successful though. With only a day and a half to search, we ended up in South London, due mostly to a co-worker of Jon's that said "Give South London a try.  You and Debbie are more South Londeners than North Londoners".  He was right.  We focused on North London because that is where Jon will be working, but South London is more suburban and the people are just more friendly.  We settled on Sydenham which is a charming town and near other very quaint towns like Forest Hill and Crystal Palace.  We got the lay of the land which included a number of pubs and met our local flower lady "Angie".  Apparantly some of the events for the 2012 Olympics will be held in that area.
We will be posting blogs all about our new lives in London, the walks that we take, the people we meet and anything else that might be interesting to you.  If you have ever received one of our Christmas letters, you know what I mean.
