Thursday 25th July
Today is our last day in London. We are very sad to be leaving, but we will be seeing Sian and Owen again in a month, so it is a little bit easier to say goodbye. As always, we never get around to doing everything we planned to do when we landed, but there will be other times I'm sure - maybe not during the summer next time.
We had an excellent breakfast with Sian and Owen in the previously undiscovered Royal Teas Cafe in Greenwich
The cafe is in a right royal area in Greenwich
Goodbye to the view from my hotel room (Novotel, Greenwich), goodbye Shard (centre), goodbye Gherkin (near my spout), goodbye trusty overground trains and much used DLR (station roof in blue). Don't be fooled by the grey sky - this will be gone soon and will make the air even more humid as the sun breaks through
Playing spot-the-teapot in my room at the Holiday Inn, Heathrow. Note: the Lindo Wing is still on telly even though Prince George left yesterday. This shot was taken 3 hours before the emergency evacuation of the hotel, which occurred 4 hours before we were due to wake up for our early morning flight. This was not an easy night! And I never expected to be left behind in an emergency. What were Julie and Alex thinking? They left with nothing but the pyjamas they were wearing, the room key and one mobile phone. Other guests assembled in the car park completely dressed and with all their luggage in tow. hmmmm
