The Black Friar
Sunday 6th September 2020
Was lulled into a false sense of security by blue skies in the, and went back down to Blackfriars like I did on Friday for an al fresco pub lunch and stroll along the river, but the weather turned and it ended up quite chilly.

The weather looking very pleasant in the morning as I inspected the Cabernet Sauvignon vine.

11:23:52
Unfortunately this was rather misleading as I thought it meant it would be a lovely day for a stroll along the river.

The photo I nearly always take from Blackfriars station. The blue sky starting to disappear by this point.

Quick glimpse of the spectacular interior of the Black Friar while we were ordering.

We sat outside to eat. It was actually a bit cold and not the nicest spot in London what with all the cars going past. The food wasn't great either. Oh well.

Chie and Erika on the Millenium Bridge. Quite grey by this point.

14:04:21
The three of us on the Millenium Bridge, with St Paul's photo bombing us.

14:08:54
Interesting view of St. Paul's from the other side of the Millenium Bridge. Presumably this was intentional.

Swans and other waterfowl.

Chie and Erika on the beach at Bankside.

14:19:04
Not sure if you can make it out but I was trying to take a picture of bubles floating along just above the water.

14:20:10
More bubbles - a bit hard to see.

14:25:28
We paused here for a moment to watch more bubbles being blown, although you can't actually see any bubbles in this picture.

15:32:52
Headed back to Kentish Town, and I went to the garden centre to get a new pot and some ericaceous compost.

16:30:41
The newly repotted blueberry bush.

16:33:31
One of the two blueberries on the bush this year - most were lost on a windy day when the bush was blown over.

Frustratingly the weather looks nice again now!

The girls went out for a bit and I had a little relaxation time, reading Oz Clarke's new book on English wine.
