Paddington and Mayfair

Yesterday we both went to the dentist and unfortunately Pauline had to have a tooth removed so she’s laying low today. She’s ok but just taking things carefully. Fair enough too! So I had a bit of a look round by myself.

He’s a popular bear is Paddington. At the station on platform 1.
On my way to Mayfair I came across him again on this bench.
We were watching a TV program called “Secrets of London” and the presenter visited this place. It looked so good I had to try it. Mayfair chippy.
Classic cod and chips with tartare sauce, mushy peas and curry sauce.
The mushy peas were excellent.
As was the cod. Chips were good too.
Fortnum & Mason have decorated their windows to look like an advent calendar.
I walked past the Lotus showrooms in Picadilly but I didn’t buy one.
Walking back through Hyde Park. Kiwis always get excited to see squirrels, presumably because we don’t have them.

It’s a big city London, and Google maps shows things in miles so I always think it’s not as far as it really is. I do like wandering around looking at the shops and the people. Busy down Oxford Street as you’d expect. Tomorrow hopefully Pauline will be feeling a bit better and can join me.
