The Bucket and Spade List Part 10 – The Met Line
The first thing I need to warn you about the Met line is how much concentration it requires to actually catch it. Any Met line platform on Central London is probably moonlighting as a Circle line platform as well. And … Continue reading

The Bucket and Spade List Part 8 – Spitalfields City Farm
I’m really tired today. Eva had me up during the night, I was working today and then looking after Roo and that’s the reason my brain is running so slowly that I can’t even mock hipsters properly. It’s taken … Continue reading
The Bucket and Spade List Part 7 – Nando’s and Book Benches
