London Calling

Whoever said when a man is tired of London he is tired of life sure knew what he was talking about! It's a city I just keep coming back to. And I'm here again. So what does one do in London when all the major tourist spots have been ticked off? 

Have lunch at The Shard with fabulous editor.  







Eat a Chelsea bun (in fact consume a butt load - literally - of carbs)  Stop at every pub you can find! 



And indulge in some High Tea with fabulous English authors. The lovely Kate Hardy corralled us all and nine of us had tea at a posh hotel. RITA nominee Heidi Rice, Fiona Harper, Annie Claydon, Annie O'Neill, Caroline Anderson, Jennifer Taylor, Lucy King and, of course, Kate and I. It was particularly fabulous to meet up with Caroline and Jennifer who were my go-to medical authors when I was exploring the genre. And I'm still loving their books over a decade later! 




 

Tomorrow we head to Rome but I'll be back London. I'll always be back! xxxx

  2. This sounds like my kind of holiday, AA, with all the fine eating and the pubs and I LOVE high teas (and carbs!!!) Our eldest son and his life are living in London for a couple of years and we plan to visit next year. We will eat our way around the highlights...again!

    2. I'm sure she is his life though, Bron 😍
      Food wise you must go to Borough Markets (right near Harlequin offices) when you visit next year. They were awesome! Outdoor food van setup in a gorgeous old Victorian market place. Food to die for and sooooo much choice!
