London, Day 6, Saturday, July 16th- Pimlico, Victoria, a walk through St. James Park to Piccadilly Circus & Street, New Bond Str., Oxford Str., Regent Str., Carnaby Str.,….Soho

A bit more about yesterday… Susanna was brilliant in all ways! She handled the Vic crisis with professionalism, poise and love. Despite probably thinking: “This is absolutely the LAST time I bloody well have relatives to the palace!”  And later that evening the family met near Covent Garden for an amazing diner. I thought backContinue reading “London, Day 6, Saturday, July 16th- Pimlico, Victoria, a walk through St. James Park to Piccadilly Circus & Street, New Bond Str., Oxford Str., Regent Str., Carnaby Str.,….Soho”

London, Day 5, Friday, July 15

Susanna, (Chou) works for Princess Anne at Buckingham Palace.

Cher and I had a breeze tubing from Heathrow. Bought an Oyster card at the airport, took the Piccadilly line to Earl’s court, transferred to the District line and arrived at Victoria Station, and hailed a black taxi to 11 Gloucester street.
