Day 1   Day 2    Day 3    Day 4    Day 5    Day 6    Day 7    Day 8 We took my sister to Bromley just to have an outing. I looked for some sandals which I failed to find.  It is the wrong end of the season to buy such items. We went to the main Mall,  which is indoors of course,  and I looked in vain for the Pop-Up art gallery which we had seen a few weeks ago,  to no avail.  My sister has...

Day 1   Day 2    Day 3    Day 4    Day 5    Day 6    Day 7    Day 8 We both set out for our first visit to the newly constructed Battersea Power Station. The station itself has a preservation order on it but now instead of machinery to power London with electricity we had something that I did not dream of.   We took a fast train to Victoria and then a slow train to Battersea Park.  I was not...

I had a croisant and coffee and Françoise had the equivalent.  Next to us, two ladies were waiting for their portion of hot breakfast. When...

Up at 7:30 after a restless night most of which was spent watching TV. I am truly shocked at the firm Horizon that used faulty software with their post office account. This resulted in hundreds of post office managers being falsely accused of stealing money. This has been going on for years now and the UK Post Office (chairman or on £800,000 a year) do not want to move this forward or give it...

Richmond London has a good transport system because it has to, such are the numbers of people that need to move around. There are many lesser known lateral lines especially railways that are not obvious to the casual visitor. One of them is the line between Clapham Junction and Richmond.
