Day 29

August 8

A very special day, because Marcel arrived in London. To make it even more special, Helene and I had Full English Breakfast at the restaurant. We went to buy holly water for Helen’s mother. We had fun filling up the little bottle. We had to play in the water for a long time. We then hang around until Marcel arrived at my door. So strange to see him just there.

Marcel didn’t want to sit and relax so we went for a long walk : St-James Park, Trafalgar (where there was geant screen presenting the Olympic opening), stop for lunch, Temple Church, Jubilee Bridge, South path out the Thames, Westminster Bridge, Parliement, Westminster Abbaye… Coffee time. We’ve been at the grocery to get what we will need for supper at the flat and go back on our feet to Le Grenadier pub, where we had a pint.

For supper, each of us had something to do : Helene made the salad, I made de spaghetti with tomato sauce and Marcel opened the wine. It was very cosy supper but a lot of fun.

After supper, we went for another walk but not too long this time because it was a very long day for Marcel. (Helen was really impress!!) He is sleeping as I write the blog. Chut!
