A Grand Day Out

Took a trip up to the Big City and visit to Baker Street yesterday to meet with friends, who had arrived in the UK in the morning and were doing their stay in some considerable style.

I so wanted to hail a taxi and tell the driver "221B Baker Street and don't spare the horses" but I suspect most London cab drivers have heard most variations on that one. Besides there's a Tube station not far away.

Despite the rain which was forecast only for Saturday (grrr) and other plans not quite going as intended, I think it's fair to say we had a great time. We all got to use the aforementioned Victorian era underground system (hadn't realised previously how many steps there are to descend/climb), before taking in the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels. Brilliant day.

Thank you D & T.
