London – July 2018

July was an amazing month to move in. The weather was brilliant and there was so much going on in the parks and generally. Apart from settling in we orientating ourselves with plenty of walking; mainly using pubs and parks as way points and memory triggers.

Some ‘Glasto friends’ came down for one of the Hyde Park British Summer Time concert weekends which was great – we had a lot of fun but I can’t remember who played

My only media archive suggests that Slowdive were playing but the rest is a haze – we had a nice time:-) maybe I should look up the line up?

The Great British Beer Festival at Olympia was a giggle and well worth a visit if you are that way inclined.

Fortunately we didn’t go until the evening otherwise it might have got messy. Some amazing new ales and ciders as well as some of the old fav’s. Very pleased to see Cornish brewers putting on a good show.

Sal was very happy, she met an old friend and found a bar that sold wine – by the bottle – it’s the only way to go at a beer festival 🙂

No amount of weed on the canal was going to deter those signets from following mum!

And at our new local – The Warwick Castle in Little Venice – we stumbled across a film crew using it as a location in a film called “How to Build a Girl”. It’s a Caitlin Moran & John Niven film based on Caitlin’s novel and was released in 2019. Don’t ask.. we haven’t seen it!
