Dear C,
About to venture into London for the first time this trip, and must admit to not sharing the stiff upper lip of my compatriots when it comes to the prospect of staring down terrorism and taking the tube. As a result, am contemplating wearing my best running shoes, in preparation for hiking across town, or for the eventuality that I must leg it, should trouble arise. Of course, said footgear will seriously compromise my outfit, so may end up wearing the Ferragamos instead, but these might serve me better for climbing over old ladies in any case.
On one point, at least, I stand firm. The terrorists will never stop me from going shopping and having lunch with my sister!
Faithfully,
P.
