Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 We took my sister to Bromley just to have an outing. I looked for some sandals which I failed to find. It is the wrong end of the season to buy such items. We went to the main Mall, which is indoors of course, and I looked in vain for the Pop-Up art gallery which we had seen a few weeks ago, to no avail. My sister has...

Snapshots of a journey to London Day 3/8
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 We both set out for our first visit to the newly constructed Battersea Power Station. The station itself has a preservation order on it but now instead of machinery to power London with electricity we had something that I did not dream of.

Next to us, two ladies were waiting for their portion of hot breakfast. When...
99p pint, The Sahara, New York being destroyed, dieting
I have just (7.30 am) stopped listening to a very action-packed thrill packed news bulletin from TalkTV with David Bull and doctor Renee. They are at the top of their form and addressing such things as lockdown benefits and otherwise, how could someone have escaped from a medium security prison and why was he there in the first place, was it an inside job?...just the sort of thing to start my...
New Rail Card plus a call for help
Travel Card purchase Today I bought a Two Together Rail card which enables two people traveling together to have one-third of the price of their tickets. In the last couple of years or so we have not found ourselves with the desire to travel by train but this has tipped the balance. I find that a single journey from London to Bath with a travel card will be about 22 pounds. That is doable. ...
