Olive’s Eighty Seventh Birthday
Saturday 9th June 2007
Find
Olive in the family tree
We arranged to meet at the Festival Hall which Olive was keen to see on the day it re-opened after refurbishment.
Rosemary,
Ian,
Alastair,
Iain,
Kirsteen
and
Malcolm
were all there.
We tried to buy coffee in the Festival Hall but they told us there
wasn’t any. This was untrue and we sat in the rather spartan cafeteria which not only showed no
sign of refurbishment but no sign of having been cleaned since we were last there. After resting our feet from
the humid heat we took the tube to Camden Town and after hurrying past the market area found refuge
in a cool pub alongside the Regent’s Canal.
Regent’s Park was only a short walk away so we took an easy stroll along the towpath.
The men tended to get ahead. After reaching the park we took a very uncomfortable
bus to Islington where we took yet another rest at a pavement café.
A pleasant day overall.
