Another week in London.

Well another week of looking for work in London

This week after the search I went for a walk, along the Thames Path.

then on Monday

North to St Pancras and Kings Cross.

9 3/4 is at Kings Cross Station, where you can have a photo taken.

But you have to wait for over an hour to have yours taken. and it costs.

I then walked home through London.

It gets dark by 16:00 now, but the lights are good.

And on Tuesday.

I walked to Peckham and the church called St Giles of Camberwell.

I then went walking onto Kennington where I found an old Monument to the honoured Civilian war dead. Where I found my Grandfathers Day.

I then walked across Lambeth bridge and Vauxhall bridge.

Onto the Thames path to walk home.

Then On Wednesday I headed for Whitehall again.

Along the Embankment to Big Ben

Across to Parliament Square

and Passed Jewel Tower before heading Home.

Thursday I had a job interview in Reading.

So I walked to Paddington.

Up passed the Mall

The Bomer Command Memorial, and onto a train to Reading

reading I found to be a nice small town. That has some history

Streets full of bikes as well. But it was Dark by the time I got back to London

But Big Ben is still just as Magnificient in the dark.

I got this over Westminister Bridge

But it was Cold.

Friday came and went. No Photo's but I went to Borough and East Street Markets to get produce for the weekend.

But a church view while you work. dreams are made of this. 100 year old apple trees in the gardens. The church was built in the 1700's But the windows are obviously newer. Their were formal gardens Rose gardens But it was the productive gardens that got the attention of the tourists. We stopped for lunch at the usual National Trust Cafe Jennifer got her usual scones and clotted cream, while I enjoyed a stew. The walks were pleasant and enjoyable. The house was a mixed house, it was a old Georgian house that the owner had modernized in the 1860's, then a fire in 1960 pull a whole new twist to it.

Quarry Bank Mill's, Styal

The tour guide was all dressed up and knew her stuff answering any question that was given to her. The house is where 90 children would live.
