A Trip to Angel
… with the 19 bus
Today we decided to do a little shopping and explore the area around the Angel Station. We stopped at Itsu for some lunch and enjoyed a hot noodle bowl.
We explored some very cool side streets with fun artist owned galleries and outdoor cafes before we ended up at Cass Art Supplies to purchase some sketchbooks.

Back in London
…arrived this morning at 6:30 just in time for rush hour
The flight was only 6 1/2 hours but the drive from the airport took us almost two hours. After a two hour nap we took a walk from our flat (next to our son’s flat) to the local green grocer/mini market. We picked up a few essentials and when we got back we met up with Sevin who had just returned from school. She helped us put away our groceries and then we went next door where mama was preparing dinner for us.
Sevin entertained us with stories about her day at school. She is in reception which is like our senior kindergarten. Then she showed us her latest work of art.

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Intimidating
…thanks to Sue W and Jerry C for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2025/02/26/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-intimidating/
Today’s prompt is ‘intimidating’. As I walk through busy downtown areas such as London or Toronto, I find the massive skyscrapers somewhat intimidating. The shear height makes me feel like an ant that could be squashed at any moment.
