London was everything and nothing like I had believed. The city was constantly moving like the Thames river that divided it. There were always lights, smells and noises, it was so easy to get lost.
I tapped my stick on the pavement and held onto Bonny’s guiding harness. My senses told me that my husband Zak was still walking by my side. All around me were other people moving with great hurry and excitement.
I was scared as was natural in an unknown city but also embracing the new experience. Being blind wasn’t going to stop me from seeing London.

I like that. I like the way you’ve likened London to the ever-moving Thames that, as you say, divides it. I also like the way you’ve taken the view of a blind person.

Thanks. 🙂 No idea, where that idea came from! But my characters do like talking to me a lot, which I find really useful! Also, I’m off to London next week, so been doing some research into places around there.
