On this occasion, Francoise and I went our separate ways in the morning. I love wandering around taking pictures that would not be of interest to the main stream media. Francoise wanted to visit the shop or two in Camden and who can blame her. Camden is the most popular destination for tourists and has 100 different shops with 100 different emphasis. Because the footfall is so great, specialist ...

The plan for the day was to meet a friend in the St Martin-in-the-Fields restaurant which is below the church and please note very popular during mealtimes.

Our procedure for going anywhere is always the same. We take the 9:38 AM 172 local bus from Wells at the newsagent 100 yards...

Before I start, I've just been sent this wonderful video which is very short but quite delightful. So it is a lovely Saturday with hardly a cloud in the sky.
