A day in London aka bumpkins in the city
Yesterday we had a day in London planned some weeks back to avoid the horrendous price of rail tickets. You simply can't talk a train trip spontaneously any more prices s like airline tickets go up and up nearer the day it's totally outrageous .
Set forth at 9.00. am
First bit of train journey out replaced by bus just managed to get on many didn't . Reached new starting point refused entry to station there was a train on fire !
More waiting everntally to 11.00am managed to get on train .
Arrived London . Went on tube .
Arrived at portrait gallery collapsed exhausted in their cafe before seeing a single picture .
Saw a few galleries but soon had to leave to move to next destination .
Walked along embankment it was very very hot and man are those streets of London are not made of gold but of very hard stone .
More tube journeys to get to next venue .
It took ages as tube line we needed shut down because of Grenfell fire .
Now we are seriously tired and needed to flake out at a pub to recover .
a couple of hours later dinner and it's time to get back to train station for return .
Yet more tube diversions .
Worse the tubes are heaving and full of drunks.
But we must have looked rough because people immediately jumped up and offered us seats !
Poor frail old bumpkins !
Same coming back replacement bus bus to car park car to home .
It's now past 10.00pm
Watered ungrateful worthless tomatoes .
Came into house fell asleep on sofa
Now awake and it's today must go to bed .
Totally cream crackered .
