W et and chilly - and we note that this is not the case in Sioux Lookout, where temperatures seem to be hitting the teens.

Dave has a meeting just off Trafalgar Square, so we head down to the National Gallery and meet him on the steps. Time for a quick visit to the gallery. Interestingly, Dave is intrigued by the changes in men's dress over the centuries.

Then jam-packed tube to Paddington. Dave has found a nice Victorian-looking pub with fireplace, local clientele and good food - fish and chips (J), chicken and leek pie (me) and beef brisket sandwich (D. Good bitter. Tea afterward in Dave's hotel room - the Cardiff. We work off the meal by climbing the four storeys to his room. Good view from the top though. Dave calls home on Skype and the kids have a great tie making faces and hamming it up.
