Shift your focus

For a few minutes I would like you to think like a little balloon and I will trail you along on my walk through London yesterday, with old friends.angel

We began in Angel (an area I was very familiar with) and through St John – an area I am not familiar with at all and into the Smithfield Meat Market- somewhere I had never been.

We popped in and out of bars and little restaurants along  our beautifully designed personal guided tour and  consequently I cannot remember the NAMES of any of the bars and little restaurants.  One of my dear friends (who actually designed our day) is also a blogger who does restaurant reviews and will be telling you abut the best of them at a later date – I will link you across when his page is published.

It was just such a lovely day. Good friends, good food, good wine.

The weather was beautiful. Even a little sun at times.

So here you are little balloon, aloft and attached to Camera House, bobbing along behind.  london

Now, I have one more full day in London then tomorrow I am off to my next destination. The one I have kept a secret while it was being organised. Here is a collection of  clues. It starts with M and has many churches and art and beautifully dressed people and everyone is on a diet. And is very well known. And I have never been there before.You can guess but I will not say if you are right or wrong – that would spoil the surprise.

But for today I am in London. In this wonderful big city.

Have a lovely day yourself.  See you tomorrow.
