We did a little hunting and gathering on Kensington High Street and then took a 52 bus to Sainsbury's Ladbroke Grove to finish our purchases. Midday we met Annie back at the flat where we cooled our heels before going out for a late lunch/early dinner at the Champion, the pub on the next corner. They provided and excellent meal in a cozy setting. I headed out on my own to see the lights made so famous on Instagram and Reels. They were impressive, but mobbed by social media influencers looking for more clicks. Don't you dare lump me with them! For me it's different: I'm a historian. You can see the difference, right? Good. I thought you would.
