The crowds at Portabello Markets
After spending some time with Jem and Ian over breakfast, we bid them adieu and thanked them for their hospitality once again, and set off for our last few hours in London. It is the last time we will see Jem and Ian in their London home, as they
are excitedly planning their move to New York in the first half of this year… very exciting! We caught the tube (with a few detours, due to track works and Tottenham Court Road station being closed!) to Notting Hill Gate and walked the Portabello
Road markets with thousands of other tourists. We then had a wander around Kensington and Chelsea until we found a nice English Pub to finish off our holiday in the UK.
It has been a great adventure, with plenty of interesting things to
see and experiences to have. It has been great spending time with the Henrys and Jem & Ian. For me the highlight was Italy…. A magnificent experience, but there are many other things that will stay with us for a long time.
As
I am writing this from a café/bar in Heathrow airport, I realize that I have many more photos to load onto the blog – we had run out of space, so I had to buy some more. We will load these over the next few days and send everyone a note
when they are loaded.
Thankyou for coming on this journey with us by reading the blog. We will soon be boarding and look forward to seeing you all very soon!
