A new angle

There's nothing to renew interest in London more than having a visitor especially one visiting for the first time as Angela did, all the way from Dallas, for a few days before Christmas.

A few days which would otherwise have probably been fairly mundane and domestic were replaced by trips to the London Eye (yes, again, but a new angle or revelation on the skyline every time) and the National & Tate Modern galleries (guiltily more in two days than in the previous two months).

Her visit also provided the opportunity for a fresh look at British cuisine: Cornish pasties and fish & chips. I usually try and take advantage of London's multiculturalism for my socialising sustinence so this was a bit of a change. High Tea and the S&M Cafe (a joke I'm sure I should have teased my visitor with a little longer) will have to wait until next time.

And no, I haven't forgotten about the Ice Bar... to be continued...
