Conked out

The ongoing buggy debate: side-by-side or long and narrow? We choose the aircraft carrier, which is what our stroller feels like fully loaded cruising Maida Vale (19/10/02). Our Sunday walks passes Little Venice, Paddington basin, Primrose Hill and Regent's Park. One fall evening as the sun sets we stumble upon a black congregation singing gospels next to the Paddington Green and the Edgware fly-over; another we discover the house where Nepoleon III lived in Exile (now a re-hab). Nearby is the Grand Union canal connecting London to the North and industrial revolution, and St. Mary's hospital where both kids born.
