City Hunter – Part 1
Diary: 19 October
30 years ago Mr Gochugaru and I began our student life at the University of London.
We remain in London, but have we seen everything this city has to offer?
Totopos and Guacamole
Gochugaru Girl has spent the afternoon chiding Niece Number 2…
…to which she has replied: it’s really not so bad.
First of May in Marylebone High Street
Gochugaru Girl had coffee in Marylebone High Street with her friend Isabelle exactly a year ago.
Being the First of May, she gamely brought along un petit bouquet de muguet .
221b Baker Street
Gochugaru Girl’s first introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes was via The Hound of the Baskervilles. Mr Gochugaru’s family lives in Devon, so they often visit Dartmoor for walks which happily are always uneventful.
Closer to home, and though I passed by it every week, I had no inclination to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum at 221b Baker Street. It was always a mystery to me why the queue was perpetually long.
