Day 37 24 August

We have had another leisurely day in London, strolling the area around Westminster and taking photographs.  It is so good to have this time without having to meet deadlines.  We parcelled up surplus stuff and struggled with another box to the Post Office!

Tonight we went to dinner with some of Anne's friends to celebrate her belated 70th birthday.  We went to a restaurant called Simpsons in the Strand, a traditional  English Hotel in architecture, menu and service - very nice indeed.  It was a warm night and the streets were alive.

Tomorrow we plan to go to the cricket at the Oval.  Rain is forecast so that could be interesting.  Anne has arranged for a hamper and we are sitting in the open stands.  It will be another new experience.  Sunday we are on the move by bus to Lytham.

We will be taking a keen interest in the rugby.  We will be able to watch this on TV hopefully before we leave for the cricket.

Another busy weekend for you all.  Thanks for emails etc.   Will sign off as another day passes.
