At City Hall, Office of the Mayor of London. Conference on Ageing in London

I left home today early to arrive at my Conference Venue for 0930. The Conference started at 1000/

I attended a one day Conference, at City Hall, SE1, the office of the Mayor of London! The Theme of the Conference was Ageing in London. It was interesting, exciting in some ways, and it was an opportunity to criticise existing policies and services. However, it was also an opportunity to help formulate plans of action, going forward. Housing for the elderly, health care, respect, activities, introducing two generations living together, transport, social, cultural & civic participation in community activities and many other improvements. All these, aimed at making London Age Friendly! Like all such projects, the implementations will be challenging. However, that the authorities are listening and engaging with Older Londoners is a good starting point! My photos tell you about my journey to City Hall today. Ciao and catch up soon.

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 ...
