London again

It's been a couple of weeks of jet setting. Planes, trains and automobiles... On Saturday it was time to head down to the big smoke again. Our dear friends Tahlia and Brian got married on 12th April in Thailand and we were unfortunately unable to attend. On Saturday they had a reception in a pub in west London, near Portobello Road.
Mark, Vera and I got the train from Royston at Saturday lunch time and after struggling (fighting!) with the travel cot at Terese's, we handed Vera over to Terese.
Terese and Vera went to Kentish Town City Farm

Vera slept all the way there but had apparently enjoyed looking at the goats, pigs etc!
The weather has been absolutely atrocious all weekend with lots of rain.

Mark and I met Ana and Mark in the Grand Union pub, also in west London for some food and afternoon drinks/. So nice to be out and be able to relax and have an un-interupted conversation!

We had a great time at the post-wedding party/reception and got back to Camden close to 2am.

On Sunday, in the midst of more rain, we had some brunch at Bar Solo in Cambden, next to The Good Mixer, one of our old London haunts. Vera slept on the way back, so we popped into the Price Albert pub for a farewell drink. very child friendly pub (= high chairs and baby changing facilities). Nice to know for another time!

Got a taxi back to Kings Cross and then the train home. Over tired Vera last night after all the excitement!
