This morning I am grateful that we are in London safely.
We are spending three weeks in London sightseeing. David and I are here for the first week and then all our children join us next week.
I am always grateful when the plane lands safely at our destination.
Our first day in London we spent wandering. It is so nice to be in one place for three weeks and have no pressure to be busy.
I am so grateful to have started my day with a walk/run. My goal for this holiday is to run non stop for 20mins. Well I managed my goal on my first day! I am not quite sure how to readjust my goal for the remainder of the holiday……Do I aim to run faster for 20 mins or do I aim for 30mins non stop running? Any advice from runners would be very much appreciated. I am a very slow runner and I am very keen to avoid injury – I have had plantar fasciitis in the past.
After coming home for breakfast David and I ventured out to Oxford and Bond St. We then wandered through Carnaby where we stopped for lunch.
After lunch we investigated the National Portrait Gallery. I have to compare it with our Australian Portrait Gallery because ours is so much better! Our Gallery is filled with faces that we all know and love like Jack Thompson and Quentin Bryce. The London Portrait Gallery is filled with lots of old unfamiliar faces like The Tudors.
My favourite Portrait was Elton John.
After visiting the Portrait Gallery David and I wandered around the Borough Markets before coming home for an early night.
Until next time
