The weather is being very kind to us, well we think it is.
Today we had arranged to meet cousins
in the city. It seems to be a
long time since we have done a walkabout in London and I had just about
forgotten how interesting the City is . Our station was closed today, and so
was he train line we wanted to use once we got into the city. Bother. I think
we had become a bit used to all the liens working as they were during the
Olympics and Paralympics. Oh well there is always an alternate route. We were only a little late to meet up. It was
great to be able to share family history details with a fellow enthusiast. The
Man is great when I go granny hunting, but you can tell by the glazed look, as
well as the fact that he has been known to doze off while I am enthusiastically
looking through old documents at different archives, that it is not as good an
occupation as going fishing.
After arming the new granny hunter with information, we had
a nice stroll around the city, chatting and stopping for coffee here and there,
until suddenly we noticed the time and decided that we really should be going our
separate ways and head home.
I did take some pictures to add to my 'Interesting Architecture' file
