Tally ho, from Grainews London correspondent

What do four old people, London, 6 p.m. and pizza have in common? That’s what happens when you have been up all night traveling to England from Canada – you fall asleep at 6 p.m. eating pizza in London. 

Geez, salmon fishing at Campbell River, B.C. one day and a less than a week later having pizza in London, England — I travel more than the Pope.

Yes, we arrived in London yesterday (Wednesday) and are just about to start a day of touring around the city. Took the Heathrow Express train from the airport to downtown, then cabbed it to the hotel — relatively easy and cheaper than some other options.

A bit of rain here this morning and word is we have lots of walking to do. I’m here with my wife Angie, my sister Brenda and her husband Walter.

I don’t think I have stayed up past 1 p.m. in about five years, so being up 30 some hours straight Tuesday took its toll. Rested and ready to roll today. My wife took this picture of me on Kensington Street yesterday afternoon.  She kept telling me to back up 10 

feet but I can see why now. Ha, I fooled her.

I see this just happens to be the Chalk Farm bus (in the photo) so that is my connection to agriculture for today. I also checked out the price of beef and pork at Mark’s and Spencer yesterday.  It was 19 pounds per kilogram so that is about $35 per kilo. But it was organic, grass fed/finished beef and pork, and the store knew the producer, so it must have been good.

So we may see where the Queen lives and attend a Broadway show tonight. I will keep you posted.
