We set off for London on the A1, well advised to keep off the M1, which later turned out to be wise. We had an appointment to have dinner at my nephew’s place in Clarence Road, Bounds Green where Cheng and Nee were supposed to be. Even though it was our first time along that route, with Beng’s prepared notes and map, I could navigate while he drove. When we arrived, as soon as Jun heard that Beng is here, she rushed to greet him. Another family re-union for us. William cooked a few of his specialities like Hokien mee, Bah Kut Teh, and fried chicken, with plenty of cherries and mixed fruits salad.
After dinner, Beng decided to show us his rented room in Charleton Dene. Driving in the dark and unfamiliar with the routes by car, he took a longer time to reach there. Because of the noise, his landlord and his little son came downstairs to greet us. It was getting late and we had to rush back to Dartford for the night.
