i then had three meetings (all went very well) and did about 4 hours of walking which i loved.  we even got some snow (about as much as we got in auckland last august though!)

after my meetings i went to TM Lewin and bought some shirts and a new suit.  so, during the day i walked from farringdon to st pauls, up to st john’s then to leather lane.  finally i walked from leather lane  across to paddington via Piccadilly circus.

    apparently that’s the new thing – third wave cafes. there are a number of trendy coffee places around st johns / leather lane. many of them owned by kiwis or aussies. i had a flat white!
