London marble arch mound and the moon

Well today didn't go quite as planned!! Woke up at 4am!!!

And I have problems with both my feet!!! Both the blister on the sole of my feet that I got last time in London finally burst on Sunday and boy are they sore.

Also my left foot has an ingrown toe nail on my big toe and the one next to it is very red and swollen and might be infected!!! Basically both my feet hurt before my day started!!!

But I bought my train tickets 3 months ago £5 each way!!

So off I went to london with the plan to do as little walking as possible 😂😂😂

It started well at Kensington south station, walked to the Mitchelin building it was beautiful

The next stop was to knightsbridge but half way back to Kensington south station i remembered that the piccadilly line isn't stopping there at the moment!! So I walked!!! To knightsbridge!!!!

Found harrods and a few other things along the way

Made it to knightsbridge and found the rhino above the jewellers and the stunning Pan statue and a completely empty knightsbridge road!!! Normally the road is so busy you can't cross it without a green Man or death!!!

Next onto the tube to green park to find the Banksy and twiggy statue. Then I walked to grosvenor square and then to find the penny cat which had turned into flamingos??? Last time it was borris Johnson hanging about on a zip wire!!, I will see the penny cat one day!!!

Next up the war memorial to the animals that served in the war. Love this monument.

Then I saw it!!! The marble arch mound that was meant to if cost £2 million but ended up costing £6 million!!!!! And its temporary!!! At the moment it's free to go up, but by the end of the month, everyone will have to pay!!! Admittedly it was fun for about 5 min but most of the views were hidden by buildings or trees!!!! Still glad I did it. Oh and there is a lift for the less able otherwise its 140 steps up!!!

I also found another Banksy that I never knew existed!!!

At marble arch

I grabbed a coffee from pert and had a rest sitting in the shade of the marble arch mound.

Next stop the mosaic trail that went wrong with my sister in lambert north. Found them!!! And the Charlie Chaplin ones too.

Next stop was to stop!!!! I found a lovely bench in the shade and I sat there for over an hour drinking a ton of water it was very hot again!!!

I then jumped on the bus to lambert bridge and found the boat in a building, the fire house and the boat benches as well as a stunning building.

By this point I was starving 4pm!! so popped to tescos grabbed a meal deal and another bottle of water and sat on one of the boat benches to eat it, on a main road, but with a view of the Thames...through the cars, lorries etc.

Full up I decided to walk back by the next road up, away from the main road, it was so peacefull and I found my first space invader!!! I know they are about but it was totally by accident that I found one!!

I also found a park with grave stones and a children's play area, it was so peacefull. Wish I'd found it before eating besides the main road!!!

Next I jumped on another bus to trafalgar square because I was desperate for a pee!!! and it was the closest toilet except pubs,restaurants etc i had to pay 20p for a pee!!!!!

I decided to sit in trafalgar square and wondered what to do.

Decided to get on the train and head towards a park, then I saw the lion!! And that reminded me that I was supposed to be lion hunting!!!!

So walked around and found a few think there are 28 out there.

There were so many people in trafalgar and piccadilly!!!

Gave up lion hunting and at this point my feet really hurt!!!!

Jumped on the train to sheapard bush to go see the moon at St John's the Baptist Church. What a beautiful church. The moon was good too 😂😂 but it's the same one that I saw at the natural history museum a few years ago. It worked better at the national history. The church is too small, stunningly beautiful and the moon looks amazing...it just worked better at the natural history.

And that was me done!!!!

All that was left was to get back to Victoria station and get the 20.15 train home. So between busses and the underground made it to Victoria grabbed some reduce sandwiches for dinner and headed home.

As for the not walking much today, I managed to do 27863 steps!!! 11 and a half miles!!!!

Had an amazing day but boy am I going to pay for it tomorrow!!!
