What a delicious walk and thanks for the photos. I love a bit of Street Wisdom from England! Let me know when you want to come to Los Angeles for a walk down Hollywood Blvd or just to the beach?
Hiya Sarah, I have not managed to ‘walk with you’ on Writers Walk as regularly as I would liked to recently. But last night, I took a longer stroll through your most recent posts, including this one. So I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy them! Apart from being beautifully written, your observations are very astute and inspirational. The topics for each walk so simple and easy to just go and do yourself. And the posts work for walkers as well as walkers-and-writers. Truly a joy to read. So I'm sure I'm not the only one to encourage you to please, keep walkin' :-)
Hiya Nanette, that's such a lovely thing to hear – thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I'm really pleased you're enjoying the walking and writing. We should plan a virtual walk together soon :-)
Thanks for this Sarah, I'm enjoying your walking adventures and writing tips very much. I'll avoid grandillas but keep my eyes open for other good stuff.
I have to confess I did eat the same lunch for about seven years when I first started working... tuna bap with cucumber and mayo, bag of Walker's Salt and Vinegar and a can of pop, from one of the many other Italian family-run sandwich bars in Soho that have all but disappeared. (This was in the late 80s, so Soho had just begun its gentle slide into gentrification.) I walk around there quite often and there are enough clues to what it used to be like to still feel familiar.
Hi Ed! Great to hear you're enjoying these posts. And thanks for sharing your lunch confession. It kind of makes sense to stick to the same thing, or have a rotation of favourites, as it takes away the decision fatigue, doesn't it? I remember a little independent sandwich place on Fleet Street that I used to go to practically every day when I first moved to London. It's long since vanished, which is a shame.
PS I hope you put the crisps inside the sandwich. It's the best way to enjoy them!
It gets worse... The crisps went in the sandwich some days, others not. One day a banana found it's way into the sandwich, which sounds awful but was actually, secretly, really, really good...

Thanks, Liz, I'm glad you enjoyed it! And I'll definitely let you know if or when I make it back to the US.
I love a good walk around a market. It’s amazing that we can find new foods to try still. Thanks for mentioning The Working Lunch!
My pleasure!

I'm going to take your word on that, Ed! :-)
