What a great day we had on Friday 22 May, good weather, great company and lots of laughter. We arrived at North Greenwich station, parked Daisy Juke and took
The Emirates Air Line cable car link across the River Thames to Victoria Dock. You get a great view of London and we booked a return flight, to see London at night on the way back!

We then took the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) to Tower Hill, walked to Aldgate and took the tube to Kings X. Ian wanted to see inside St. Pancras station, its like a shopping mall and has donated pianos for anyone to play, it was buzzing with lunchtime activity, people pulling their suitcases on wheels along and the usual long queue for the ladies toilets! Next off to South Kensington on the Piccadilly Line to eat birthday cake at The Hummingbid Bakery, I've always wanted to try their cakes, they look and taste amazing. The shop is opposite the tube station so not a long walk with our big cool bag full of yummy food for our picnic later at Chelsea. As you can see I opted for the red velvet cake, Ian chose raspberry with lemon, just as lovely as mine. All washed down with a huge mug o Tea Pigs tea.
