I have arrived safely, and am installed in the top garrett of my lovely host family's home. It is less than a block away from the seafront, and is in a nice quiet area of the city.
I had completely forgotten that the day I was arriving - November 5 - was Guy Fawkes night. Everyone lights huge bonfires and sets off fireworks to celebrate King James' discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. I arrived just in time to catch the celebration, which was a lovely way to spend my first night in Britain.

We're happy to hear you arrived safely and are settling in! Are you missing your beautiful hair??? We'll be checking your blogs often, so we can pray more effectively for you.
