Closed out the evening with Mel at the Builders Arm. The Builders Arm was the pub closest to Beau & Harry’s school when they lived over here the second time. After sending Mel on his way with minimal information on how to navigate back to his hotel, we hit the hotel piano bar. We had tried it our first night but it had already closed which turned out to be a good thing. The piano man was excellent and happy to play a few of Ed’s favorite Freddy Mercury/Queen songs.
Woke up a little worse for wear but no more rain and the sun even made an appearance. Opted not to indulge in the pistachio croissant especially as all the seats were occupied so take away was required. Wandered around Covent Garden area prior to hooking up with the nieces. 1.50 pound fare to use the loo and Ida missed the arrows for Ladies so she ended up in the Gents side. Found Taylor Swift custom sneakers but no mention of Kelce. I figure I can get Sarah to paint me a pair when I get back in Chiefs colors with Taylor on the left foot and Travis on the right foot.
Hooked up with the nieces, Allison & Lisa, at Rules to celebrate Lisa’s engagement and get filled in on wedding details. Wedding is here on New Year’s Eve. Rules is the oldest restaurant in London dating back to 1798. It is very old school British with very traditional British food. Grouse season isn’t until later this summer which was just fine with me. The Guinness is served in silver tankards so we toasted Ed in style as well. Allison had informed them we were celebrating an engagement so Lisa had a nice surprise at the end of the meal.
Really could have used more time in London but we packed it all in anyway. Setting the alarm for early departure to Heathrow tomorrow. Mostly repacked and ready. The Mississippi crowd is heading to Dublin thru Atlanta. Looking forward to hooking up and kicking off the next stage of the adventure. Have the Uber scheduled as we elected not to try to haul the luggage thru the street and the Tube. Slainte!
