Travelled up Town today to meet A. off the train at St Pancras. Met him below the station clock which now has a statue of an embracing couple beneath it presumably to ensure there are no misunderstandings as to where to meet.
We headed off to the British Museum with two bags he had brought down from university one of which felt like it had his world possessions in it rather than some clothes for his trip and some bed linen for washing as he claimed. We had a nasty moment at the Museum where it looked like, it e would not accept the bag at left luggage as it was almost twice the weight limit but the women behind the counter eventually relented and allowed us to divide the luggage into a a crate and two bags so we were able to walk around unencumbered after.
After a swift visit to the ever magical Rosetta Stone and the Easter Island we made good progress around the Enlightenment Galleries and then had lunch outside in Bloomsbury at a restaurant called savoure faire (the boullabaise was excellent). After another hour or so at the Museum we headed back to the station only to find the train was cancelled so ended up meeting my sister at Ebbsfleet from where we just about got back in time to meet my cousin K to go to Dinner at a local pub.
Great day but exhausting!
