*LOL* Sorry...not sure why Your comments are screened.

Hmmm...ok, next time...brunch it is. I have to sample some more unusual drinks. (I'll forgo the hookah.)

Oxford St IS quite dangerous.....but I'm very polite to those buses. I was there today..........and now have Marcel Dupre. And the light grey paint I was so taken with, which was in the building where the Baroque stucco plasterwork ceiling was. (S. asked if I remember exact colours....Yep.)
