Nigel should be home later today, hopefully in time to watch tonight’s Extra Slice with Darrell and I, amidst much tangible and palpable excitement I am sure.
And from what I gather, he hasn’t wasted any of his spare time in our glorious capital city, including critiquing his room décor, something I think he has “caught” off Darrell.
The art work, he said, left him with a feeling that perhaps he might need to get his eyes tested, as he couldn’t work out if it was him or the picture that was out of focus.
The curtains and counterpane also left him completely uninspired, but the view over London, looking towards Kings Cross and St Pancras, in his estimation, made up for said decor…….
…… Nigel does like a good vista, even if it isn’t exactly classically beautiful!
The hotel breakfast also impressed and was much to Nigel’s taste, it was full and splendidly unlimited as described …. several times over, I believe ……
…… enough, Nigel explained, to afford him enough energy to take in the sights and airs of the South Bank ….
…… embracing a little sandcastle building ……..
……. and the book market.
He then decided to move on to Spitalfields Market for it’s public art work, including Kenny Hunter’s I Goat ……..
… and Ali Grant’s A Pear and A Fig. http://www.spitalfields.co.uk/public-art/
……. before a little choice mooching in the craft market ……
……. plus a cheeky cocktail in the Cocktail Village before finally carefully wending his way back to the bosom of his family…….. bless his little cotton socks!!!

I used to go to the South Bank a lot, when I lived in London.
That breakfast looks great! I'm sure I would have overindulged.
What fun - but I bet the room didn't ripple?! That only happens in Swindon I believe :)
