After careful consideration, I also now believe that the Cottage toilets were much cleaner, healthy and smelt better then the ones at St Christopher’s Inn, Greenwich. Having said that, toilets here are still in existence.So the later part of the week continued as did the first. Lots of sight seeing, walking, pictures and 2 new Facebook friends.
All the usual touristy things. Lords Cricket Ground, Abby Road, Buckingham Palace and The Globe. The tally for strangers asking "do you have 20p you could spare" is 23. Sadely, I never seem to have any "spare" change when they ask.
Yesterday, I meet up with a long time friend John Frost (John Frost Newspapers) after about 15 years of communicating through the mail. We got on a bus and he spent the trip pointing out buildings that he remembered from before the war, what was there, what they once did in them, who once lived in them etc. He seemed to have a good memory for someone of 88.
Paris is the next destination leaving on Friday afternoon and meeting up with Trudy Andrews. Hope to find SBS at the Tour De France to send back a hello to everyone.
Starting a new competition today. Seems I have gone overboard with the souvenirs. So, first person to write a nice comment telling me how much they miss me gets a prize from London. Only thing is, only people who know what my job is can enter.....
