A sense of Thoreau...

We've arrived at our fabulous rental property and our sitting room and porch overlook a large pond, filled with lilies.
At 5am, the Queen Mary passed under the Verazzano bridge with only several feet to spare and then we saw the statue of Liberty, like a beacon in lower Manhattan.


256 miles of so later we are in Peruville; I have been granted Lawful Permanent Resident Status in the USA and my Green Card is to be sent to me soon!

We are here...the seemingly endless details have fallen into place, our transition from England to the USA completed at last!


Eve and Annette, thank you for meeting us, for driving us to our rental car pick-up, for feeding us and loving us. Mic, John and D....so incredibly sorry we missed you at the terminal (it takes a looooong time to process an immigrant!) We will see you soon and love the photo.


Stopped by Maple Ridge on our way to the rental property...it is more beautiful than ever and the drive from NYC to our future home was lush with green trees and flowing rivers. As I type this the frogs are croaking, the birdsong is just quietening, as are we. We are in for quite a journey!
