Oh my goodness. No wonder the Poms whinge about the weather!
We woke up to brillint blue skies and sunshine.
John, inspired by one of his favourite TV shows New Tricks, thought an outside pub meal by the Thames at a New Tricks venue close to Hammersmith, would fit the bill.
By the time we arrived, it looked like this!

No matter, we sampled the beer at the Rutland Arms. A very nice Speckled Hen.

Then popped next door to the Blue Anchor. Good choice.

Delicious food and a great view, even in the rain.

Celery and Apple soup plus some grilled sardines filled the void and we happily watched the world go by for an hour or so. Imagine our astonishment to see this!

Are you up for it Jen and Grahame??
Down the Thames??
I wanted to see the Cenotaph in Whitehall that had been the focus of the Remembrance Day Ceremony yesterday. We met this little fellow along the way in St James Park.

I get such a buzz around this part of London. So many icons within a small area.


The wreaths at the Cenotaph looked like they’d been there a lot longer than a day, with all the Autumn leaves partially covering them.

Alongside this homage to peace, the anti-Brexit campaigners were in full force.

Good on them! We agree!
Bus home for a DIY pizza. Top deck front seat of course!
