Arrival

Okay, we survived another long haul flight. This time it was 24 hours long,  thank the goddess  for premium economy I think I’m to old now to manage cattle class.

We arrived in London at about 6:20am, it was one degree and there was the possibility of snow, which had all the Londoners excited. The weather had been rather mild until yesterday.  It hasn’t snowed yet but it is rather chilly, although we seemed to have got our level of warm clothing right as it was comfortable enough wandering around.

Because we couldn't get into our room until 2pm we dropped our cases off. Got our Oyster Cards topped up and took the tube into Oxford Circus. We did some shopping, bought new beanies and sorted out a new phone number to use here. Everything is very pretty and Christmassy.

Haven't slept yet as I write this and am feeling pretty tired. We are staying in a guest room in Willesden Green on the high street.

I’m not optimistic that it will be a quiet room, as while  I've been writing this post there have been sirens screaming up the street and we feel like we are in an episode of The Bill. The romance of travel!
