We
weren’t particularly looking forward to today.
Why
so?
Well
our special visitors were on their way back up to Lincolnshire.
It
was really fantastic to see them again, and to be able to play host and
show them London.
We have
crammed as much touristy stuff into the last few days as possible, and walked
our feet off, and theirs too.
This
morning we had a leisurely start, with a walk about Canary Wharf, which is where
I work. Nice to be still on holiday. Then
a run on the DLR to Bank, and on from there to St Pancras Staion.
And
what a busy place that is.
We had
oodles of time for coffee and to people watch.
So
many of them coming and going .
It
was sad when the time came to say goodbye, who knows how long it will be before
we meet up again. But there is a plus too, as these two are so very happy
together which kind of makes up for letting them go.
The Man
and I weren’t ready to make the trip back to our base camp so we did our usual ‘let’s
have a wander about’ thing.
The
whole area around Kings Cross/St Pancras Station is undergoing a huge revamp.
We watched children playing with the water in in the spouting fountain, a nice
safe form of waterplay for even the smallest child.
We
followed the signposts to the Canal Museum and spent an hour or so there
absorbing the atmosphere and learning a thing or two about the network of
waterways that were so important in moving goods around before road transport
drove them into a decline.
