With or Without Bits?
Bob and I met in the late afternoon at Gospel Oak train station, a convenient location since the trains that run near our flat and Bob's work for the day both stop there. So, coming from different directions, we coordinated our meeting by texting each other (cheaper than calling) the trains we were on and then went by bus to see what Highgate is all about. We'd heard the north-London neighbourhood was nice, but wow is it ever nice! Grand houses, beautiful streets, and evidence of money everywhere you look. The very small high street seemed interesting enough--but, as with all of our London days so far, we were fighting the dual menaces of the standard shop closing time of 5-5:30 P.M. and an early sunset, so we didn't get to go into too many shops or see down many of the dark streets. We both want to go on the Highgate walk that London Walks puts on--if it's anywhere near as engaging as their Hampstead walk, as done by Emily, it'll be well worth it! Anyway, I don't have photos of Highgate (you'll have to wait until we go back during the day), but on our way home, we stopped at Sainsbury's to stock up on quite a few things, and so today's pics are courtesy of that errand:
