London stay




After an uneventful overnight in Tokyo, arrived in London Sunday night. Homestay is a large old English house run by a lovely couple. There are 6 rooms for guests with people coming and going,  many travel tales to talk about. Breakfast each day has been a very long drawn out affair, but good fun. A very friendly place to stay. Each morning breakfast is in a sunny room overlooking the rear garden with a resident squirrel and beautiful spring bulbs flowering. So pretty.  Have been doing the tourist bit, Covent Garden, Victoria & Albert and British Museums , National Gallery, went into Westminster Abbey, lots of walking and undergound travel. Today been to Notting Hill and Portobello Rd Markets then onto the South bank for the London Eye. Very nice day good weather.  Have picked up Skippy last Monday morning and negotiated our way back to the B&B, visited a couple of shopping centres without any hassles so far.Sunday we will go to Dover to catch the ferry to Dunkirk
