Having a rental car has given us the freedom to explore the countryside with ease. We collected our cute, manual Citroen and headed north, finding our way out of London without many wrong turns.

London is sparkling for us, at the moment.

At the risk of this turning into a bragfest or long list of places, we are going to post the interesting changes that have occurred in the 25+ years we have been away from London. The place holds many very happy memories – living in various areas and, of course, where Wanda and Alistair met, got engaged and lived after getting married.
