  • Week 191 – Nov 9th – Walt Disney 100 year exhibition – Part 1

    Claire had booked us to see the Walt Disney 100 year exhibition at the Excel centre in Canary Wharf.

    The journey went without much trouble and the car park which we had already paid for, was massive but pretty empty.

    Now please join us on the journey from the car park to the event and beyond in the magical world of Walt Disney.

  • Week 188 – Oct 22nd – West Malling Farmers Market

    As the weather was reasonable today, we decided to go to the farmers market at West Malling.

    The journey was going smoothly until we reached a village and cars were everywhere. Every so often a group of cars would go pass and we would inch forward.

    Finally we found out the reason, there was some vintage event happening in this village and a steam engine was rolling into place.

    I think they should have put warnings up there would be a delays.

    Had a nice walk around the market and got some fig jam and bread.

  • Week 188 – Oct 16th – Flying in more ways than one

    We went to Biggin Hill airport café for a coffee and watching the planes come and go.

  • Week 185 – Oct 1st – Greenwich – Part 1

    As the weather was reasonable today, we went up to Greenwich park and had a walk down by the River Thames and saw this cruise liner docked at Greenwich, when I searched for the cruise liner Amadea, it was actually saying it was in Tilbury.  Well it wasn’t.

    Greenwich
    Quite surprised to see this cruise liner docked at Greenwich.
