What a lovely way to spend a few hours in London! Met my dear friend in Victoria and because of the tube strike and the glorious weather we took a gentle stroll up to Piccadilly through Green Park. Needing refreshment, we popped into the 3’6 bar in Fortnum and Mason for very tasty non-alcoholic cocktails and nibbles, then onto Waterstones where was in conversation with discussing her debut novel People Pleaser. She revealed stories from her own life as a people pleaser and gave us a wee tasty morsel of the book so I’m diving in to it already on the train home. After years of working in London it is wonderful to return as a visitor, the pace feels somewhat slower. Here’s to more cultural day trips.
