2 Coincidences
2 Coincidences - I Know Streets & AuthorsI have had 2 great coincidences whilst I have been travelling.
1. In London I stayed in an apartment in Queensborough Terrace, Bayswater. It is just minutes from the centre of the city - opposite Hyde Park.
Anyway, that was the only street in the entire city that I knew where it was.
As Mel and I were walking about 3 kilometres from the apartment when 2 ladies approached me for directions. I said jokingly, "You are asking the wrong guy - I have only been in this city for 2 hours and do not know anywhere. But try me anyway."
You guessed it - they wanted to know where Queensborough Terrace was!
The only street I knew in Europe's biggest city and I knew where it was. Man, was I looking smart!
Number 2
My wife went shopping in Charing Cross St mainly because she wanted to see if her favourite bookstore - 84 Charing Cross (as in the famous book) - was still there. It was gone (it is now a Pizza Hut).
She wandered around and entered a bookshop and bought me a book she thought I might like.
It is called Blog Marketing by a guy called Jeremy Wright.
I know Jeremy! We have emailed each other at various times and he was kind enough to mention my blog on his famous blog a good while ago.
Anyway, I read it on the way to Paris and it is a terrific view of blogs and how to market them.

No, she did not see that (she will be disappointed).
Was not too cold when we were in London - bit of sleet, but not too bad.
