Just One of Those Days

Pouring with rain, the tubes are on strike, the Boris bike stand near me is locked and I can't get a bike out and the taxi got a flat!

Actually I made that up. Well not really. You see they all did happen. Just not today. Well actually not all exactly on the same day. They did all happen. I just rearranged the order. Well you do don't you when it's one of those days. Hope I haven't jinxed my train today.

I'm buzzing off for a few days. Not cold enough here thought I'd head north just to feel some real cold. Goodness this doesn't sound very jolly does it. I am jolly though in case you're wondering. Thanks for asking.
I will leave you with a few glimpses of London while I'm gone.

Helping the Kids

When you're trying to raise funds for a worthy cause the last thing you need is for the rain to bucket down. Well that's what happened to the London taxi drivers trying to raise funds for their Christmas appeal. They do a fantastic job taking under privileged kids on outings to the seaside, parks, circus and the like.

Every January, together with the Grosvenor Hotel, celebrities and entertainers, they organise a fantastic tea party to some 650 disadvantaged kids.
Just pop one less bauble on your Christmas tree and give the equivalent to their fabulous tea party here.
