Howdy ho. Small update today, just to let you know I'm still alive.I've been in London for nearly 4 months now and I've never seen the Thames. So it was high time for me to go with Dave in the weekend to the Embankment district in central London.
And so we shared a romantic [delete delete delete] (pardon me) pleasant walk along the Thames on a chilly Saturday afternoon. Well worth the trip - saw the London Eye, stood on the Millennium Bridge, viewed the Globe Theatre from the outside and poked my head through the door of the Tate Modern. I saw some pretty awesome cheese at the Borough Markets - Allen you would have wet yourself.
There were enormous soap bubbles blown, hot dogs eaten, crowds navigated, pictures taken, book markets perused, mulled wine mulled over but not sampled, and several pints enjoyed instead.
More photos starting here if you're bored. Check out how much the truffles cost.
What I really need is someone who knows London well to take me around to all the cool little nooks and crannies. There's so much to do here it can be a bit overwhelming - not sure where to start! Still - there are a couple of obvious things I need to get out of the way until then. I'm hoping to go and see the ballet at some stage.
Christmas wise I'm planning on putting together a little roast dinner for whoever else happens to be around.
Got to go. Bye for now!
