392 - Home sweet home ?

So, in the past few entries, I discussed our trip to London (and Oxford), our visits to the park, to exhibits, mueseums, eating at a pizzeria and meeting friends. All the posts for this trip share the UK1018 keyword.

 Today, I want to do a bit of a comparison.

391 - London - the ending and homebound

For the 8th entry in UK1018 blog series to discussing the last portion of our stay. The previous week had been busy in London itself and on Friday 13th, we had went to Oxford for the Tolkien- maker of Middle Earth exhibit, a day both fun for this goal and for eating vegan pizza, but not for all its winds and difficult trip  back. 

390- Oxford!

I continue my UK1018 blog series, with day 8 of our UK visit, going out London for the first and only time. 

This was on Friday 12th , bound for Oxford, a trip that we hadn't known we'd try until the previous Sunday, and which was planned by Graham on Monday. 

389 - London 6- Trafalgar Square

(note on the image: this is one of my own photos, shot with the Cubot X18 phone. The national gallery is seen on the left corner above the fountain).

I continue my UK1018 blog series, with day 7 of our UK visit. 

That was on Thursday 11th, our  visit to Trafalgar Square. There, we split for a shortwhile. I went searching for bookshops while my wife drew. I had misunderstood recomendations made by my friend Nicole, and the two shops were full price, not second, so I didn't buy anything. 

388 - London 5 - The V&A

(image: my ow photo, a view from within the V&A, which I desaturated and added the text)

Because I didn't have computer access during our trip to London, I didn't blog on a daily basis as I wished. I therefore tell the tales after a fashion, and had ot divided my 4K+ word long entry into several posts.

I continue with the adventures we had after St James Park. 

387- Lodnon 4 - St James's Park

(I used one of my own photos for the image above.)

During my first trip to London, started in post 384.  The first place we visited was Nunhead cemetery on Sunday 7th. 

After a calm Monday at the flat and some grocery shopping, we went on with the next part of our adventures.

386 - London 3 : Nunhead cemetery

(I used one of my own photos for the image above)

After the introductions to our trip, my very first to London, I now start the first adventure there. 

It was on Sunday 7th. We took a via van to Nunhead cemetery, were we met with Iris, a friend of my wife's. They did art, I read Tolkien (Book of lost tales, 2) ; we walked about, taking photos and discovering this famous abandoned cemetery, now overgrown with nature. My wife had actually been there before, but it was my first, evidently. 

385- London 2

As I said, one long entry would've been far too long for you to read, hence I opted for several entries instead. 

If you recall, i explained that I suffer from GAD, travel anxiety included, and also experienced terrorism rauma. 

384- To London

(note : I found this copyright-free clipart to which I added text)

Before travelling, I imagined composing entries on the go, to edit and publish with Blogger app on my phone. But, the truth is, I barely had time, nor will nor energy, though some of it was procrastination and playing my games on the phone instead of talking to it, composing and editing errors from Google Speak recognition. 

I also thought I could post everything in one entry, but when I saw over 4000 words, I decided to break it down Thus, this entry is about the trip in general, and in each of the following entries, I'll discuss a day or two in more details. 

Although titles may give the impression that am about to go, I didn't change the date, to pretend that I'd posted in due time.
