Yesterday afternoon was wonderful. Lyn and I went for a long, long walk together over to Greenwich. We left Dominik at home and set off, Lyn leading the way. I couldn’t help thinking about the shots of Bond and his wife Tracey riding together on horseback in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service as we rode through the great park, now in it’s spring glory. I have long loved going out and exploring the city, but often felt slightly guilty about leaving L at home. Now she can come with me, and judging by yesterday, she’s just as keen for such voyages as I am.

In Greenwich park, Lyn texted Dom, and we waited for him to catch us up. Then we went down into Greenwich together, where we got a drink. Sitting there with the woman I love in one of the coolest parts of London felt incredible; and after that we followed the river back round and then headed for home. We must have gone ten miles at least. I really hope that was just the first of many such trips. Sharing my wanderings with lyn, following our noses as we discover more and more of the city together, will be amazing. But, of course, there’s no hurry: we have all the time in the world.
