We had a day out of the office and off the tools – it was a Mr & Mrs T P away-day to London. Started off drinking Pimms on the Fast Train to London St Pancras.
First destination was the RAA for the annual summer Exhib, which we really enjoyed. Thing about a day out without the kids is that you can miss them and at the RAA I kept thinking about how much our oldest son would enjoy this. He has come with us in the past and been to many London Art Galleries and I am thinking I must bring him here in the summer holiday.
We then walked across central London and it was interesting to see how empty it was. We both know London really well, i lived there for many years, and we were surprise at the lack of crowds. Is this due to recession or changing behaviour? Had some lovely Veggie food in Food for Thought at Covent Garden. The money we saved on food could then be invested in alcohol so we went on to a bit of extravagance, a drink or two in the world famous American Bar at the Savoy Hotel. Seb Coe was there.
Can’t say any more about the evening’s entertainment but it involved us missing the last FAST train to Ramsgate from St Pancras, at the riduculously early time of some few minutes after 10.30! So we went for the fall back of a train from Victoria, only to find it is a bus service from Faversham! We should have stuck with St Pancras with a change of train at Ashford.
o well, even this couldn’t spoil a lovely day out.
