We
stayed for two nights at a rather posh hotel. Luckily
an Internet price was quite reasonable. Mick had a day
at The Patient Forum with Beating Bowel Cancer followed
by an evening reception at The House of Commons.
The
following day one of his meetings at Macmillan made
it a nice break for me and yet another chance to impress
his friends. Important to us Jimbys that is.

What
a time I had. The hotel was the St. Ermins which is
near St Jame's Park. It was used by Members of Parliament
before becoming an hotel. This is the staircase in the
lounge after a few cups of coffee and a waiter kindly
took the photo.

Had
to have a go on reception and was made most welcome.
|
|
Even
us Monkeys get tired at times and at least I got to
sleep in a proper bed for a change. A change from being
at home where we have a big low shelf to sleep on.

After
a day with Beating Bowel Cancer we made our way with
many others towards the House of Commons and The Terrace
Restaurant. Wondered if I would find someone to take
a photo though. What a scoop it would be!

|
So
I made it! The House of Commons Terrace Restaurant.
Not only that but Mick met a lady who's son he had coached
at chess many years before. I managed a glass of wine
and then chatted to the official photographer. A small
bribe of a donation to the Charity enabled this photo
to be taken. He He He! Mick had to send the donation
as I haven't got a cheque book!

So
after a hectic two days I finally ended up on Peterbough
Station. Would love a ride in the engine but who knows
perhaps next time.
