Addictive?

I’m heading home today, after spending a few days visiting Hilda and having the opportunity to catch up with some friends.

I have found this visit to London so much busier than my last couple of visits. Life in London has definitely returned to pre-pandemic chaos, no quiet cups of coffee anymore, just back to crowded bars and waiting to be seated at cafés. That said, the buzz is still very addictive, and although I enjoy it for a short while, it is not long before I am missing the calm of our life we have created in France.

I am waiting for my first train of the day, the DLR from Westferry to Bank, where I’ll then catch the Northern line to St Pancras.

I am a little anxious, as there is a train strike in France. I managed to miss the UK train strike when I arrived, but I am firmly in the middle of this one. I believe my Eurostar train is running, so 🤞🏻 I will get to Paris okay. I really do not want to delay getting home, but I can only see what happens next when I reach Paris.
