Day 25

August 4

Helen was at my door by 8am. We had breakfast at my flat and took the bus to Oxford street to see the departments stores. It is much more pleasant on Monday morning than on Saturday afternoon !! We walk from there to Neal Yard. We had a delicious lunch : spinach quiche and salad. We had our coffee at Monmouth Cafe : the best coffee in London. It is very cute and funky place. We share our bench with a couple and a solo custumer. The coffee was absolutly divine! We went back at Neal yard to make an appointment at the hairdresser. Helen took the opportunity to have a back massage. She look like being one cloud nine when she came out of the massage place…

We walk from there to Covent Garden and past by Berwick market, (a local fruits and vegetables market on the street). We stop for awhile at Covent Market and listen to music playing by a string orchestra. I love it... We went to National Portrait Gallery. Helen really enjoyed and we had a thought for Ginette and Lise. They would love this place for sure.

It was time for a break at our residence. Before dinner, we took a walk on St-James Park and went to Goya Tapas on Lupus street. The meal was delicious. We love walking back by different streets. We saw many restaurants we would like to visit. I think we wont have time to try all the places we would like.


Have I ever told you I love London ?

Hi Manon,
As you invited me to do so, I reiterate that I love reading your blog. It makes me nostalgic and remembers me good moments passed in London previously. A suggestion, for a change; you should try indian restaurants. They are afordable and renowned in London.Say hello to Helen on my behalf, Josée

Thank you Josée for your comment. There are so many Indian restaurants, I can't make up my mind on one. There are many good and many bad. Hard to tell which will be the good ones... I am still looking...
