COVENT GARDEN, LONDON
A couple of weeks ago, I took myself up to London on the coach with the Real Socialising group. Travelling by coach is significantly cheaper than taking the train, and it’s ideal for me as I can simply sit and read my book.

I picked up a…

The presentation of all the dishes makes all the difference, I guess that is why this place is so busy all the time. The staff are super…

Sometimes, you have to queue outside and inside as there are only four cubicals but the time goes quickly. It is like the photo kiosks you get here for your passport pics. These have so many more options for every sort of style and colour you want your photos to look like. Kara figured it out very quickly, thank goodness, as I was still reading the first part! lol You do all this on the computer in the bay. When you…
