First day in Seattle

We are in Redmond in Seattle. It is fabulous. Here I am on my first walk around the neighbourhood. I will never get over how much space there is. It is very green with huge tall cedar and fir trees and lovely plants. The rhodedenron is the State flower- wonderful.

Our friends have bought a house in this neighbourhood. It is really beautiful and very comfortable.I think we are going to have a brilliant holiday.

Other half and I got food poisoning on the plane on the way here. We think it was scallops that were served as a starter. Other half was on oxygen for an hour because he nearly fainted. I spent most of the first night here being rather ill. What a state we were both in. Happy to report we are feeling a lot better today.
