Yes, I am definitely in London

Just look at the view from the London Eye

No doubt it would be a better view if it wasn’t raining; but it’s London!

Or the view from the top of St. Paul’s, on a sunny day.

Of note: This is the actual view from St. Paul’s and it really was a sunny day in London. However, AC did not get to come out at the top. (He is never out of the backpack at any sacred locations)
He was added to this picture after the fact.

And, of course, there‘s drinks!

And the annual beer festival at Ealing Common
The breweries under the train arches. https://distortionbrewing.co.uk/
And, look: it is a beautiful bar in the brand new Chiswick Cinema! The theater was under construction during our time in Chiswick. https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/the-chiswick-cinema/
The location of our anniversary dinner in April 2020.
The Tex-Mex restaurant, D Grande, had just opened. Eating at restaurants was not allowed during this time of the pandemic, so we ordered margaritas and tacos for takeaway, and went to the park down the high street to eat and drink. So happy to see they are doing well. https://dgrandetexmex.com/

And there are shows, lots of shows

Like a Midsomer Night’s Dream at The Globe

Or, Lightroom’s immersive Hockney exhibit.

A Strange Loop
Back to the Future
Barbie, of course
Bleak Expectations
Spitting Image
Union Chapel for Damian Lewis and Stand up Comedy for the Loss Foundation

And, the London presentation of the musical, Cabaret. The theater was transformed into the Kit Kat Club.

Once we were past this gate, no pictures allowed.
The performance is immersive, as if you are actually entering the club.

Lastly, Linda’s second favorite musical (you might know that Les Miz is, and always will be Linda’s first favorite); This is the London presentation of Wicked https://www.wickedthemusical.co.uk/

This is London: Gin and tonic – always appropriate before the show
Look at that dragon! Someone is going to need help during this show.
Big finale. It all turned out (mostly) ok in the end.

Are there canals? Like Regent’s canal?

Yes, there are canals. You can learn more about them, and take a canal ride if you visit
The Canal Museum.

Are we leaving London?

Is it time to start walking again? This path is very confusing.


AC is very close to the ongoing construction site behind the Battersea Power Station. Behind him is the “hoarding” that is used to fence off, and hide, the construction. It is very decorative, in a very confusing way.

To see AC inside the mall section of the Power Station, look below:

Adventure Cow was in London; that is for sure, but then he was on the move again. Here are a few hints of where the next train took him:

Yes, AC and Linda are playing in Lavender fields –
But, it is the Mayfield Lavender Farms in Banstead, Surrey, England. https://www.mayfieldlavender.com/
Do they have lavender fields in France?
Only time will tell

Cheers!
