Camino 2023

After sleeping in this morning Megs and I made for the train station going on our way to Streatham Hill where Sara, Owen and Lachie live. Again another couple of modes of transport to get there, and we arrived at the lovely town of Streatham, lovely wide main street and an oasis of calm in the middle of the block of apartments where Sarah and Owen live. Under renovation the flat is beginning to take the shape they want and it is very pleasant indeed.

After a lovely lunch we wandered down to the main street again to enjoy coffee and cake at the 'vegan' cafe! Yay! Deeelicious, I allowed myself to have a sugary 'treat'. Wee lachie was delighted to be out and about and walking holding Grannie's hand. A walk in the park at the back of their house, and playing with the blossoms, Lachie was delighted, climbing, playing, running, tiring himself out. He got to play with the blossoms and a lovely wee video is herein of Sara and Lachie playing 'its snowing blossoms', so sweet.

After a sad goodbye, Megs and I made our way home via Buckingham Palace, the place was beginning to pack up and unfortunately the mall was closed with police people moving people on, while people were excited there, the people who had been camped on the mall had been moved out and a rather sombre police presence taking away from the excitement being felt. Oddly too, there was a rather poor showing of 'Coronation Tatt' around the place as seen by some of the photos.

Megs bought some of the tatt to bring home and we now have a flag display out of the veranda and tomorrow we will all gather to watch the Coronation here, eating scones and jam and cream! We will take a walk down to the street party as well, although it's expected it will be very full and crowded not the best for two wee toddlers..we'll see.Leer más
