We took the Great Western Railways to Cardiff on Saturday to visit our friends Kathryn and Mark, back on Sunday. Nice to see them again after we bumped into them in Athens!This week we’ve spent a bit of time on double decker buses. It’s a good way to get around as you get a view.Driving down Oxford Street221b Baker StreetNorth London canalWe had lunch in Soho and shopped in Carnaby StreetI liked this pub in the west end somewhereI visited the Science museum while Pauline did some more serious shoppingEarly Soviet computer, Science museum.Rover turbine powered car from 1950. They were very forward thinking in those days.We went to see “The Mousetrap” in the west end. Oldest running play, in its 73rd year. It was very well done.On the way back home we walked along Regent Street enjoying the lights.Today we took various trains to Hampton Court palace, Henry VIII’s palace. I kept thinking about the song “I’m Henry the eighth, I am”The tiltyard.Pictures of Henry and some other guy. They reminded me of David Byrne from Talking Heads and his big suit.I presume this squirrel was doing his exercises.The palace on the banks of the Thames.
Its been an enjoyable time here in London, tomorrow we are off to Kendal in the North. Looking forward to it!
