London in May is lush and beautiful and not as unbearably (for me) hot as it can get in July or August. So we were very happy to go for an afternoon riverside walk with Cat all the way from Goodluck Hope to the Tower of London. We took our time and passed though the former docklands to the modern restaurants of Canary Wharf where we stopped for refreshing cocktails. Then onwards through Limehouse and Wapping which have their own characters; red brick houses and converted warehouses, lots of little parks and canals and basins full of boats and barges. On this sunny Saturday there it was nice to see the Londoners walking in the parks and having drinks sitting outside cafés. It really is a very attractive area. As we approached St Katharine’s Docks it got busier, as you would expect so near to the city. We chose a restaurant there for dinner and had a lovely meal and a chat. By the time we got back to Canning Town by the DLR it was about 9 p.m. Us oldies were exhausted and went back to the hotel for an early night! Well, we had been up early for our flight!
