The River Thames in London.

St Pauls Cathedral sitting in the sunshine.

Our plan had been to spend my last day in London going down to Greenwich to see the Emirates Air Line (Cable car) across the Thames. The weather was willing but an unscheduled visit by ambulance to hospital at 10.30pm the previous evening put paid to that. Fortunately I was discharged around 4am in the morning, catching a cab home Tracey and I were soon asleep.  Due to us getting to bed so late neither of us rose until around 11am.  A quick skype call to Derek put him in the picture and we headed to Wimbledon for lunch.  Paul was working up until 1pm so we managed to all catch lunch together before heading into London Waterloo on the train.

“Geoffs” all day breakfast for me.

Roast of the day for Paul.

And a half empty plate for Tracey.

Never mind she ate half of mine anyway.  On our arrival London was still very busy from the RideLondon Charity Bicycle ride which had been held earlier in the day. A lot of cyclists were still waking around with their bikes and tell tale red framed sunglasses with the event printed on the frames.

We headed down the Thames along the Thames Path towards Tower Bridge but gave up at London Bridge where the latest terror attack had been.  My legs don't carry me so far these days although I had done a lot of walking whilst in the country.

The cranes of London. Building never ceases.

As it was now getting late and we still had a train and two buses to catch we headed home.  It is still late until well after 9pm at the moment in mid summer.
