Paris to London

The Louvre

 I spent another afternoon in the Louvre,in amongst the acres of Egyptian antiquities etc etc (you really need at least a week there to give it justice) and Ben had a rest in the hotel room and the remaining time we just hung out in Montmartre. Our train back to London through the channel tunnel on Saturday was only 2 hours and very comfy.
I have to say the only time we were not treated well the whole time in Paris was by the Pommy customs officer at Gare du Nord in Paris...he was downright rude and as Ben said "welcome to England"

Now back in London for the few days before the flight home on Thursday night.
The weather has changed dramatically since leaving here 4 weeks ago...it is definitely Autumn and just a little dreary at the moment as the sun is in short supply and it's very chilly (the sandals are definitely back in the suitcase). But as always there is so much to see...yesterday The William Morris Museum in Walthamstowe at the end of the tube run...of course when he lived there 150 years ago it was all green fields....now very suburban in the dreariest English sort of way although very diverse with a large immigrant population lots of kebab shops and Indian takeawayand even 2 hindu temples.

 A very extensive museum and lots of personal items and at times very moving..

I am looking foward to getting home to family and friends and the garden but will miss Ben very much
He has headed off to the doctor this morning to get some tests done and feels that it was something he caught in Spain.
