A few pictures...
Jon ready to go. We returned to this station for the match later on.
The 'Tweed' period run...There were hundreds of them on all types of cycles. A fantastic spectacle. I liked this woman who was smoking a pipe...too many photos to choose from.
Loads of demonstrations as usual...
Enjoyed a chat with this artist...David Pilgrim. If you click on his blog you'll see how the painting turned out. Jon and I played a few pranks on this bridge like posing as officials and preventing tourists from taking photos without a permit.
There were dozens of interesting people doing all kinds of things.

This dance couple were incredible...the video is hilarious but I don't know how to post it. Jon looking on.
I would have liked to have taken a photo on the tube to the match, but it was crammed with supporters...very loud supporters who couldn't hear me shouting my team.
Almost there...
A fantastic day overshadowed only by my losing my mobile phone somewhere in London.
Imagine my surprise when later in the evening after Jon had dropped me, off I heard my ringtone and found the phone upstairs in the bathroom. Jon had found my phone in London and smuggled it onto the bathroom shelf just before leaving for home after a drink.
He's far too much like me.
London looks fascinating! Would love to visit someday! I'm glad your phone was retrieved. I lost my car keys the other day within about 20 paces. Suppose Jon could use his skills to find them?
ReplyDeleteSome great photos here Ken (as well as knowing Barnet station I also know Stanmore station because an aunt of mine used to live in the area). All these London suburbs you are getting to know!
ReplyDeleteI bet you must have been astonished to hear your phone ringing.
Hi Randi
ReplyDeleteIt IS a fascinating city and I really hope you manage a visit. By the way, Jon isn't your man to find the keys...he'd make you suffer for a long, long time like he did me. Have you found them yet? Do you have spares?
Hi Julie
Yes, I'm planning quite a few visits this year to discover other areas. You come from quite a place. It certainly is alive and buzzing.
With regard to the phone...I couldn't believe what I was hearing. It just didn't seem possible.
Well, since I have been suffering a long time (does since last Thursday count?) can I assume that Jon has them? Luckily I had a spare but...I think my neighbor's friend stole them. Can't be my fault.
ReplyDeleteHi Randi
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say when you begin to lose your keys! Oh dear!
