Been away for few days.
As some of you may remember, I’ve said before that the best views of London are had from the front of the upper deck of a London Bus. The next best view is from the seat of an aeroplane on the final approach of the descent into Heathrow Airport. Especially if it’s a nice clear day. Yesterday was bit cloudy - and although I had a window seat - it was on the left side of plane - and planes normally come in to land from the East - turning over the City of London - and then tracking the river in a straight line Westwards - a few clicks South of most of the river itself when over the city . This is why I always ask for a window seat on the right-hand-side of the plane - but this time I wasn’t so lucky.Thus - I had little opportunity to get much of a good view - and whatever view I had was obscured by cloud and haze.

I just love sitting on the window side, especially if its not over the wing. It gives such a good bird’s eye view, otherwise unimaginable.

It’s like a map. I also lived in Whitstable for a happy year. It’s good to see it’s still there. Sitting on the right, I can look all the way up the M25 and just about see Harlow and think: I’m glad I’m not there.
