Today is the day to meet Dan from Canada, cousin a few times removed, with a common ancestor - Joseph Greenwood. We arranged to meet at Kentish Town at 6, where the old family pub, the Bull and Gate, still stands. On the way to check it out in the afternoon we walked into the Old Church at St Pancras, where Greenwoods were married and christened in the 1800s. A really peaceful oasis in the city.
Had lunch at the Assembly House pub across from the Bull and Gate, as the latter didn't serve food. Took the Tube back to St Pancras, then went in later to meet Dan, and once again ate at the Assembly House. It was good to finally meet in person, though we have been corresponding for a few years now. (I tried scampi which was yummy, like most food tried on this trip).
