Winter in London

It's a bright clear December day and Phyllis II and I cruise done the hill just like Phyllis I and I did three years ago to the day.  The day when my lovely mum was jaundiced for the first time.  I feel sad and tweet to Pancreatic Cancer UK that I will make a donation as my Mum's Christmas present.

This is my last session on the Introduction to Buddhism course and I feel I am on the path.  Quite something.  The train is peaceful today once I escape the man on the phone who has a cold! 

I get the chance to speak Spanish in the Italian Gardens Cafe. 

I walk to the wonderful Zedel in Piccadilly to meet the AH for lunch. So happy to see her loving life.

Then I walk via St James park to Pimlico. 

I have a look round Tate Britain.  Here is Anthony Gormley beng yogic.

I visit the Paul Nash exhibition.  It is on till 5 March.  I am interested in him as a contemporary of Stanley Spencer.  His work is really varied. I enjoy myself.

After the wonderful class, I am happy to arrive at the quiz, where Kieran has gone a bit bonkers with his pre Christmas Quiz.

The best of all news is that we win in Greenham and Richmond Park! Above our successful local candidates.
