Thursday, August 24th.
After breakfast John and I drove to
Leighton Buzzard to visit a couple of friends, Jamie and Matt, and
wish Jamie a happy birthday and pick up a key they were giving us so
that we can use their flat in Cardiff. We had a coffee with them in a
little coffee place and then we left his car at their place and
walked the fifteen minutes to the train.
John had some mediation work to do
today in London, so we took the train to London and the Underground
to Picadilly Circus. While he worked I had four and a half hours to
wander around. I visited Picadilly Circus, St James Park and watched
the variety of water fowl, Trafalgar Square, the Soho District, the
West End theatre district and just generally people watched and
soaked up the atmosphere of downtown London and all the tourists.
When we met up at six we started back
home, but as usual with John we almost went on the wrong train as he
was going home as he usually would, forgetting that he had left the
car in Leighton. Luckily I pointed that out. Then when we got back to
Leighton Buzzard we couldn't find the car and had to wander around
for a bit, luckily it's not a big place. On the ride back we stopped
and picked up Indian food that Dottie had ordered. We had a nice
curry meal and caught up with our families.
Missing London...
