Walking London

Started our day at Proud Mary’s for breakfast. Norm has not had pancakes since we left. He thought he’d give it a try.

And with a banana which he ate. But not like the buttermilk ones I make. 

We planned to meet Lon and Lorrie Wood who are also in London only till tomorrow. A walk to Hyde Park. 

That is a Henry Moore, the arch, behind us. What fun to find people you know on the other side of the world.

A walk along the Serpentine River seeing all sorts of wildlife.

New babies heading to the water

Lunch and then said goodbye till Victoria 

Off to find ...... book stores, Foyle’s, a good one. But on the way we found lovely irises and roses.

Ronald Regan, in the no longer used US Embassy, Grosvenor Square. US government moved it to the south side 

Fun street names 

 And public art 

Norm taking photos in Hanover Square. He liked the workman’s colours. 

London is such a busy place. Crowds, construction, buses and noise. But here at Foyle’s  bookstore there are 5 floors to enjoy. Charing Cross Road is known for its bookstores although there are less today. 

Past Trafalgar Square 


To the Thames where the city is improving its sewer system. I think it is overdue.

Note the London Eye. And cranes, everywhere! 
Closer look at the plan

We walked along the Southbank to the Borough market. Oops too late, closed. 

That’s St. Paul amidst the office buildings.

A needed cider.

Old meets new. 

Heading back to our neighbourhood means taking at least 3 tube stops. It is after 6 but wow was it packed. Norm pulled me on the first train. 

This is looking in the next car. I bet the locals get tired of all the tourists!
