I mentioned a few posts ago that LSO was taking me on a trip to my favourite city in the world - LONDON!!! We have done a Daddy/Mommy trip before and it is always like I am leaving my left hand(I am a lefty remember) behind-Little Madame does not take lightly to the fact that we go to London without her, she has been able to tell the taxi to take her to the Disney Store in Oxford Street since she was 3 - so to say she was massively unhappy was an under statement! But after much explaining about how mom and dad need time together - she finally relented saying that she knows we just want to smooch - well, go figure....
And so on a very hot summer day we boarded a plane bound for Lovely London! And on a VERY COLD morning we touched down in what I like to call "My London"! I love the general hubbub of London, and even arriving there early in the morning(6 20am) - things are happening, people are out and about, early morning runners are pounding the pathways, streets are being cleaned, dogs being walked, and sleepy people are making their way to work..... there is a general air of well ...... LONDON

A week flies by in London..... I will always love this city, to me it is the centre of everything. I will keep going back - even when I am old and grey! ...... I cannot remember which poet or writer said it but I think the saying goes something like this ..... "WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OF LONDON, YOU ARE TIRED OF LIFE" Amen xxx
