London


Yesterday was all about these two! A fab day out together in London. 
Sam and I got the train from Castle Cary, Sophie joining us at Reading, Jeff was working!!! 
(we missed you Jeff x)


We had planned to go to the Sky Garden again, this time with Sam but when we went to book tickets, there were none left. Instead of releasing them a week before, they were now opening up ticket allocation 3 weeks before!!!! So we were unlucky. So we goggled great free views of London and this came up, the roof terrace on the One New Change shopping centre. It was only 6 floors up and certainly not the fabulous views you get from the top of the Walkie Talkie Building but you did get great views of .....


...St Paul's, the Shard, London Eye etc. Better than nothing.


 Sophie stopped by her future work place - The Bank of England.
Dream BIG girl x


We then crossed the river to go and find 'him'! When Sophie and I went to London in November, I photographed this sculpture of a lone female figure, unbeknownst to me, it was part of a pair titled 'Couple' so my mission for the day was to find 'him'


We had no major plans from our trip, other than just spending the day together, so after lunch we headed into Soho, Carnaby Street area for Sam, to visit some of his favoured retail outlets.


Role reversal to the max! For once it was the girls sitting and waiting whilst he looked around his favourite stores - Stussy being one of them.


It did mean I could then persuade everyone to nip into Wholefoods, so I could find the new Limited Edition Pip&Nut Cherry Bakewell flavour almond butter - my only purchase of the day!


All in all it was a great day - lovely to see Sophie, lovely to spend some time together, great to have a change of scenery and no rain!!


Sophie got off at Reading, whilst Sam and I continued back to Somerset.

  
Until next time London x
