7/7

Holiday proper. Into London with Liz, girls happy to be at 'home' playing with Emily. On the tube in, it occurs to us that today is the 6th anniversary of the terrorist bombings on the underground. We were living in London at that time and I'd commuted in to work at that time... but in a slightly different place. The luck of the draw. I remember a sunny day. Today it is cold & wet.

After going our separate ways at lunchtime, I spent a nostalgic hour browsing the racks of Notting Hill's exchange and second-hand shops. Heartening to see them still there and seemingly doing good business. Same old musty smell and moody staff...
