First priority = washing.
Leaving Chris and Katie’s house looking like a Chinese laundry, we set off for a bottomless Sunday brunch at Bourne and Hollingsworth.
Very trendy! Full of very gorgeous young things!
I’ve decided that bottomless Bellini’s and bottomless Bloody Mary’s are a great way to start Sundays!
And the food was pretty good too!
The whole idea of a bottomless beverage is that the glass is never empty. I soon discovered how they managed to do that!
The Ladies loo also boasted the trendiest hand basin I’ve ever seen- it was a bath!
John and I had visited the Barbican a couple of weeks ago, but it pays to go with local knowledge. Chris and Katie took us along the ‘upper’ pathway for a whole different perspective of this amazing centre.
The Conservatory on the roof of the building was something we completely missed last time.
Not a bad place for High Tea!
My favourite plant was the Hat Tree!
We wandered through the back streets of Farringdon and these were some of my fav scenes…
When I mentioned I’d like to go to Evensong at St Brides, the tribes scattered! I was on my own.
But I love that. Wandering the streets of London on my own.
As I had a bit of time to kill, I continued walking up The Strand. Australia House is still where it always was!
I remember in 1982 John and I used to go in there to read the newspapers! How ‘old school’.
I made a quick visit to the Twinnings Tea store,
before hightailing it back down Fleet St to St Brides, the ‘wedding cake’ church.
Evensong was sublime. 12 choristers sounded like 50. They only ever have 12 choir members. Turnover takes on average 3 years. Speaks for itself!
