A few days prior to a procedure to fix Mr C’s unexpected health condition that caused us to cancel our Madeira trip in October we had a last minute day trip to London.
We enjoyed a special meal deal in The Ivy looking towards Tower Bridge, our destination for the day. Tower Bridge with its glass walkways and views of London from above is well worth a visit. After our tour of the bridge we had hoped to visit the nearby Tower of London but in winter months it closes earlier, meaning we had run out of time. Instead we visited Foyles book shop where neither of us were tempted to buy anything.
A couple of days later I took Mr C on the 50 minute drive to the hospital (in appalling weather) where his procedure to remove some anomalous non-malignant cells was due to take place. General anaesthetic was administered but when the consultant prepared to do the procedure he found that the anomalous cells had vanished…
He was allowed home rather than having to stay in hospital overnight. Another 50 minute there and back again journey for me. We stopped on the way home to pick up something for our evening meal. A cup of tea was in order and we were tempted by naughty cakes.
All the food in this post looks lovely. I do like the Ivy, especially when they have specials on. Great photos of the Tower, Tower Bridge and the Shard! I haven’t been inside Tower Bridge yet.
And how fortuitous that the cells have disappeared. Long may they stay away!
Tower Bridge was a first for us and I recommend it as a place to visit.
I think the naughty cakes were well deserved after that!
They were certainly enjoyable
What you didn’t invite me to The Ivy for high tea?! Totally gutted!
I hope Mr C is feeling better now and don’t forget to bring me back some Madeira cake from the island.
You should try Ivy Asia next time, they serve chicken feet there!
Your invite to tea… Maybe next time when we are not so last minute
I would love to try Ivy Asia but Mr C is not so keen.
Mr C is feeling better (just waiting the results), thank you for asking
