Ecurb's travels

Very cool pictures so far, looking forward to seeing more ...and if you don't mind I wouldn't mind hearing about the food you eat, especially if it's regional varieties.

Now I'm hungry.





p.s. Is it true that in the UK they refer to a "Booster Shot", as "Borchestershire Shot"?

A brief outline of my day before I start posting pics.  I still have a bit of jet lag, so I got up at 4:00 am, busied myself with my morning routine, and then headed out at 6:00 am for The Regents Park and Abbey Road.  Then I cam back to the Hale
Clinic to get my Day 2 Covid Test. Then over to Kings Cross Station, down to the British Museum (where I saw the excellent Nero exhibit), then back to the hotel to rest.  Then back out to shop in Soho, on Carnaby and at Liberty, a large department store. Then more rest, then back out to explore some pubs in Soho and St. Giles.  In all, I walked over 10 miles. My knees will probably punish me tomorrow.

Here I am crossing Abbey Road at the same place The Beatles crossed it on the Abbey Road album.  I guess I am dressed mostly like George here.

Can anyone tell me what this is and what it means?

A photo of Neal's Yard, a little square in St. Giles that doubles as a residential and restaurant area.

A portal to J.K Rowling's imagination.

Bruno asked about food.  This is a Steak & Ale Pie at the Crown & Two Chairmen pub down the block.

[Ecurb Noselrub]

Yes, Silver, you win a scholarship to the Hogwarts school.  This is found in Kings Cross Station,

I guess I've visited half a dozen pubs.  Today I was sampling various Scotch whiskies, including here at the Three Greyhounds.

That all looks great!

Tomorrow I venture east, to the old City of London (the original Roman city area), the Tower of London, Tower Bridge (I will cross 4 bridges tomorrow if my feet and knees allow me) and see various points of interest along the way, including the remains of the Roman wall and The Globe Theater.  Cheers!

Just got my Day 2 test back and I'm negative.  Yeah!! Guess the vaccine is working so far. Or maybe it's the whisky?

[Tank]

Or both. As you can't have more vaccine I would suggest more whisky.

[Ecurb Noselrub]

Sound and reasonable advice.
