When we were first married (31 years ago) and lived in Leytonstone/Wanstead - Nigel and I would quite often, late in the evening, go for a drive and then walk around different parts of London. We even drove to Heathrow airport at 2am had a drink of orange juice and then came home again!! in the days, I might add, when it was quite easy to get to Heathrow and park..
Well, late Tuesday evening when Nigel arrived home - he suggested that we went out for a drive and for walk, as we used too :)) so we did. We ended up at Waterside Gardens, which over looks the Thames and we went for a walk around the surrounding streets then a bit further down the road to near Tower Bridge..
It was a lovely evening, even though it was drizzling, and it was good to 'get out' and wander around London; however, we were exhausted when we arrived home at about 11.30pm - sometimes we forget that we are not as young as we once were!!!!
A lovely way to be reminded that you are not so young Judy.
ReplyDeleteEvenings are quite a special time of day I think, or at least I used to think so way back when.
Love the pictures.
Yes Ray - evenings are my favourite part of the day; however, I enjoy them because I have someone to share them with and I don't take that for granted :)) I appreciate that, for many, that is not the case..
DeleteI would have loved to be there on that walk with you! - but I suppose it wouldn't be quite the same for the two of you to have an extra. lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful walk and photos!
hahaha, no we didn't need someone to play gooseberry!! :))
DeleteCan't believe it looks so quiet. I thought everywhere you went in London was heaving with people. Seems there are some nice quite spots after all. Gorgeous photos, you should have been a professional.
ReplyDeleteyes there are some wonderful quiet areas which are not on the tourist route :)) this area was part of all the old wharfs and most of them have been converted into flats..
DeleteLooks like a lovely evening walk.
ReplyDeleteit was Barbara - even in the drizzle :))
