Another wonderful English summer day - 12 degrees and rainy, although to be fair, it started off cold but reasonably dry. The rain arrived about 11.00am and just kept on and on and on!
We took the Tube to Camden Town to check out the markets and the Water Bus. We arrived about 10.00am and it was just beginning to get going. Had a lovely wander around, watching market stalls gradually begin to open. We watched the loch gates open and close for various craft. Very clever indeed!!
At 12.00 we hopped on the water bus andtravelled down to Little Venice. We had lunch at the water cafe which was much improved from the last time we ate there in 2011. New owners I guess. A lovely lunch of home made soup and bread. It was delicious.
We returned to Camden Loch and then caught the Tube to Picadilly. We spent some time in Waterstones bookshop - 6 floors of books! Heaven! Even spent money!!
We then went down to Fortnum and Masons. They actually allowed us to enter!! Just gorgeous. The male floor staff wear tails - can you believe it!
We then decided to come back to our hotel as it was very wet and unpleasant. Another fun day disregarding the in clemency of the weather. The Smiggle umbrella came into its colour changing own today.

ReplyDeleteI hope your tootsies are warm!
I'm off work today as I have laryngitis and its a tad awkward to do my job without a voice! Just not my week this week.
Wishing you a rain free day today!
Love Caroline xx
Maz, you'll have to get GG trained in the art of photography so she can take some pics of you; better still, get hotel, cafe etc staff to take pics of you both! Dry & 18 degrees here today (sorry).
