Thankfully the rain has stopped and the weather in London has been beautiful this weekend. Andy came down on Friday and met me straight from work, and we spent a lovely evening with my brother and family. After a lazy start to Saturday morning (Andy read the papers while I made a father’s day card for Andy to give his dad, but then forgot to take a pic), we decided that as it was such a nice day, we’d head for the river.
Andy suggested we get the tube to Victoria then walk down from there which was a great idea. We stopped off at Westminster Cathedral, I always like to to pop in there to light a candle for my nan who died 10 years ago this August. Even though he’s not really religious, Andy loves to look around churches with me. After that we headed down past my old workplace, Channel 4 Television (not sure I like the big metal sculpture in front of the building), and down to Lambeth Bridge. From there, we crossed over the river and walked all the way along past the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and along to our favourite spot, Gabriel’s Wharf. We had a lovely lunch at the Wharf restaurant, and sat right on that balcony at the table you can see at the end, overlooking the river – life doesn’t get much better than that!

After some lovely fish and chips for me and a risotto for Andy, and a nice bottle of wine, we carried on our walk past the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre down to Borough Market. We stopped off there for coffee and dessert, before heading back. It really was a wonderful day :)
Andy has headed back to the Midlands as he’s playing golf today, so I’ve got a nice day to myself to craft. I’ve just finished a couple of cards that I started during the week, both cards for friends.
Hope the sun is shining wherever you are today :)
