Ok so this is a complicated day, a bit untidy, so I left it till the last and here we are two weeks away from the actual event. Fortunately, Françoise has made a diary so I don't think I'll forget too much. I love getting a discount on things and we presented our two for one discount card for British rail and got two five zone passes for £21. We have more than paid for the £30 card though we...

Arrival in London – by coach
I don't know how the record of my recent visit to london will work out but I will try and give you the essence of what I have learned as well as useful prompts for my own memory to assist in recalling the details. My policy is to leave in very good time allowing for contingencies so we left home at 9:45 a.m. in preparation for the Megabus that left Bristol at 12:30. A local bus that we have come...
Snapshots of a journey to London Day 8/8 AND THE COST
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 One thing I hate is packing but we didn't have too much so it wasn't so bad. Fortunately the journey is technically very simple.

Snapshots of a journey to London Day 7/8

Snapshots of a journey to London Day 6/8
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Not a huge amount happened today. Of course, a lot 'happens' but not the sort that can be photographed or recorded in the normal way. I traveled up with Françoise and we alighted at Kentish Town overground. We went our separate ways. She went to have a look what changes had happened in Kentish Town High Street and I went...
Snapshots of a journey to London Day 5/8
Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 Our journey down to Margate was uneventful. This was our first big purchase using our Two-Together card, which costs £30 per year, On this trip alone we saved 24 Pounds so in my book that is a winner. We arrived at Bromley South station through which most trains to the extreme south east coast go. The whole trip takes around...
