Trip to the UK 2017 - Hanging out in London and Madrid

The street that Josh and Molly live on has houses on it that are 3 or 4 stories high, and some with basements. This house is the only one that stands alone, possibly at one point it had a church attached. 


I found myself taking snaps of things as I went past on the 243 bus into Holborn and out again, which was a bit of regular do over the month I was there.  Here's a couple of those:



The rest are from Madrid.... 
We saw a truck with Molly's name on it....so....


funnily enough, this was while we were on our way to drop off her illustrations at a design shop called 'dodesign' that had teed up with Molly to have an exhibition of her work, opening the same night as Josh's book launch. Couple of pics of that below. 



The exhibition sold well...so she's well chuffed, as am I. :-)

...and of course, we went to see the Sorrolla house and all his wonderful paintings..



...and sat in lots of cafe's, chatting and drawing..




Some of the following pics are nice and clear, others have a sort of smudge in the middle...
All the pics before I met the dog are the clear ones, but when I met the dog he came right up to me and touched the lens with his nose. I hadn't realised that he'd left some snot on it.... :(





















I had developed a chest infection on the first night here. Every time I coughed, I pulled the broken collar bone apart again! I spent the second of our four days there in bed, and the third and fourth were a limp about. You'll notice in some of the pics Molly or Josh were carrying two bags...one was mine. They took very good care of me...bless :-)
