And actually, if you go again to St. Martins I suggest having lunch in the crypt under the church, it's a fascinating place, with a very beautiful shop and displaying art works. They employ people who are a bit vulnerable perhaps learning difficulties etc. and train them to run the cafe, under supervision, I think. The food is brilliant and very cheap. It's open pretty well all day and into the evening. <br /><br />Thank you for your nice newsy blog post.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266224907043302947.post-12136766212835763172012-02-03T17:39:40.544+00:002012-02-03T17:39:40.544+00:00Thank you for posting the pattern - I look forward...Thank you for posting the pattern - I look forward to trying it out!

When I worked in London in the late 1940s a friend from school and I met once a week in our lunchhour and 'did' a section of the National Gallery. The Portrait Gallery is interesting, too. Pleased to hear about your eye test - and the comments about the cheap High Street opticians.

I've just been put on drops for life for raised pressure - glaucoma in the family, but I think mostly because I made a complete mess of the field test which I hate! Anyway, better safe than sorry. <br />We've lived near Salisbury several times, the Cathedral close must count as one of the most beautiful places in England. The city itself though can be incredibly cold when the wind gets up, especially in the market square!
