Post 29/9

Not quite 9/11 but biggie for me. Left the countryside behind me mid morning on Sunday and enjoyed the ride down through Oxford and Reading and then the A4 which allowed me to remember that I was not "over the hill" totally and managed 100 mph.....just to remind me ! London was great. The good old GPS took me right through the middle Regent Street, Picadilly Circus and London Bridge.......all on a motorbike in London traffic and hoping like heck I did nothing silly like falling off while trying to take a photo. Found the Pub hidden in the Borough Market, just where it was when I worked here 49 years ago. Sadly it has changed. The whole place would have fitted into the main saloon bar so the quaintness is no longer the feeling of the place. It is now just another mock "old pub". Never mind it was the thought and the memory that I came for. The magic of St Pauls is still there across the river, but the skyline has changed seriously. I will see if I can get my pictures from Banbury to attach.
