A day with my sister
Although this was plan C for the holiday after omicron and last minutes changes, it could not be any better! Alhamdilillah!
I planned to spend the day with my sister in London. We did not want to go to a specific destination but to go to random places in the city and have a very random walk letting our feet and the roads surprise us with what they bring!
A plan could not start without a full stomach and a late breakfast at King’s cross. However, our feet took us a bit further, and I told my sister “I am going to take you to places where I have been on my own before to recreate a beautiful memory in places where I have felt lonely before!”.
In a rainy day a few years back my feet led me to a restaurant in Woburn place almost midway between Tavistock and Russell’s squares. I remember that they had tasty food and a friendly waiter that I could once leave the restaurant feeling happier and more satisfied with life and their food! It could not be more brilliant than that for a start and with a happy stomach our walk began heading to London Bridge on foot for about 2-3miles passing by St Paul’s cathedral. With the beautiful stylish architecture, the river, and the company of my sister, I could not ask for more!
Too many photos for someone obsessed with taking random shots and another break at the Hay’s galleria this time at Côte brasserie made my day even more. Another place I have been to on my own years back. It was a good memory then as I enjoyed my own company, with good food and a luxurious atmosphere by the Thames.
By the end of today as I take the train back home, my heart is pleased, my stomach is full, my feet are well worked out and my family are pleased to have shared our journey with us with photos and videos shared. And I go ready for a week of work at home/a cafe with some promised leisure breaks, I could not be more grateful for how I am spending the last days of 2021!
Thank you Azza!
And I wish you all a happy end for this year!
