Ghost Town 7

Arriving at Carluccios this morning at 8.00am ( photo above ) I was unable to order a cooked breakfast. The kitchen was closed , lack of staff. I left empty handed after coffee and jumped into a black cab. The driver started driving me north instead of east and had no idea where my destination was. He assured me that he had passed the ‘ knowledge’ but I doubted that. Unlike the Hackney cab drivers of old the new boys on the block like Uber drivers need sat nav.

Ghost Town was not performing. London looked majestic with all its wonderful buildings , rather like being all dressed up with nowhere to go. With the cafes empty and the shops slowly filling again London needs a boost. That can only come when they let the tourists back in and sure enough I saw some this morning wandering around Ghost Town and one of them asked me the way to the City of London.

Meantime don’t you just love the place and you just never know who you are going to meet. My bump into person today was Julian Lloyd Webber ( what a talented family ). Meantime my meetings all went well and there is something about face to face which beats Zoom in a Room. Anyway just a short note from Ghost Town today and though there’s no longer Rush hour as such I need to get back and look at the trees those lungs of the planet that will save us from extinction ( I do hope there’s no demonstrators lying in the road today ).
