Lovely Day at Covent Garden.

I had a lovely, fabulous and fantastic today at Covent Garden. I had a volunteer meeting near there and decided to stop by there on my way home. I am happy I did. I played at being a Tourist and walked round, slowly, taking in all the activities that Covent Garden is well known for. Lovely music, singing, dancing, lots of stores, assorted paraphernalia for sale, magician and a juggler.  I went into the Apple Store, just to have a look around. I entered the London Transport Museum, a place I love. I try to bring every grandchild once they start school and can appreciate what they see there. It was a lovely sunny day though a big cold on and off. I had a cardigan with me and kept having to put it on or take it off depending on how the sun was behaving. I love people watching and I recommend a visit to Covent Garden. Lots of different people and lots of activities to see. As usual, I could not resist taking some photos and I now share them with you. In the meantime, ciao and it will be another day, tomorrow. 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 ...

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.
