Another Gallivanting day for this OAP. I went to Victoria Street on my way to a meeting in City Hall, Victoria. I volunteer a lot for the Council on different matters, but especially from the OAP's point of view and on behalf of other OAPs. As I alighted from the bus, I ran into a display of a lovely bus, which read, City of Westminster. How appropriate. As usual, I asked the next passer-by to please take a photo of me beside the Bus. And here I am standing beside a bus, which is on display. No one nearby that I asked, seemed to know why the bus was there but all agreed that it was nice and eye catching. I also agree.





I proceeded to attend my meeting in City Hall, Victoria, which is the HQ of Westminster City Council. My meeting was on the 18th floor of the building which goes up to the 19th floor.

After my meeting, I could not resist taking another photo of myself right there and looking at the lovely view of parts of London from the 18th floor of this newly refurbished building. I love photos as they tell a story. I am known for always handing over my phone to total strangers to take a photo of me depending on where I am. A photo reminds me of my day and what I was doing and where I was. Here is my photo taken on the 18th floor of City Hall, Victoria. Ciao, catch up soon.

Today, I behaved like a tourist to London. And you know what, I enjoyed myself. I went to Piccadilly Circus and walked to the LEGO STORE at Leicester Square. That was my destination as I wanted to buy a gift for a very dear friend’s grandson’s birthday. I love giving my own grandchildren and great-grandchild LEGO as I am fascinated by LEGO BRICKS. I have a Classic 4-99 years old box of LEGO Bricks. I build various items when I am bored and when I do not want to do anymore crosswords or Word Search. Building LEGO challenges the brain as well as crosswords or word search. On my way to the LEGO STORE, I stopped just as I got to Swiss Court and asked a passer-by to please take a photo of me. After that, as I was now opposite the M & M Store, I had another photo taken of me standing right in front. I then had my photo taken of me in front of the LEGO store. Let me quickly add here that for now, the LEGO STORE in Leicester Square, London, is the largest LEGO store in the world. That ...

I am hoping to keep this Blog going daily, almost daily or a few times a week. I am out and on th ego daily but I just may not be able to keep it up daily. I live in Central London, and I do tend to gallivant around this great, lovely, historical and wonderful City of London. I belong to several charities and organisations and volunteer a lot in various ways. I am retired, a widow and in my 70s. I have 6 adult grown up children, all married, left home, scattered around the world, plus several grandchildren and a great grandchild for now. No more grandchildren as they have all been born. I am fondly called Mamina by many, including some of my children, their spouses and even some of the grandchildren. My other grandchildren call me Nana.
