to meet Connie

I wanted to find the real name of Frederick Merifield, born in St Blazey, Cornwall who had dark skin, wore plus-fours in later life and was a cousin of my great-grandmother. I left my job interview at London Bridge and flew to South Kensington to the Hyde Park Family History Centre. It was closed. Anyway, they'd managed to order a set of Polish parish registers instead of the ones I wanted. I went to the British Sound Archive round the corner. It had moved. I went to the Royal Geographical Society to look at the displays. They were closed.

It was a gorgeous day so I ran through Kensington and had a fantastic time soaking up the sun and running and skipping in the street. I tried to find Majestic Wine but failed: Connie works there. I'd like to find her. I met her in Camden a few months ago and she was a lot of fun.
