London Calling (again…)


Tomorrow we’re off to England for a holiday. We’ll visit several cities, see many things and (one of us will) eat a lot of Bacon rolls. 

As always, I’ll be blogging and sending (too many!) postcards. Look forward to it!

Dinner was in a Chinese place slightly off the tourist street. Importantly we sat inside, since temperatures had fallen into the ‘god it’s freezing’ zone in the early evening!

This morning I went out early to watch seals near the marina. I wasn’t disappointed 🙂

I believe there’s eight of them in the above picture 🙂
