The title sounds like I have just been outside for an illicit cigarette! Of course I refer to our trip to London. We had a super time and it culminated in a lovely anniversary meal in a French Restaurant last night. We had travelled across the City to the Excel Centre in Docklands to see an immersive Pompeii exhibition – it was brilliant! We then went across the dock on a wonderful high footbridge near to the Thames Barrier. Clare and I then fully utilised our bus passes back across the city (three different buses) which was great fun.

So we enjoyed our three different visits over the three days all very different but each was excellent. A couple of pictures below (I didn’t risk putting the one of Clare as an AI generated Roman Lady in Pompeii in this public blog!). One is the whales from the Attenborough’s “Our Story”– the other is of the London City Airport from the bridge- you might be able to see a plane landing!
