Best laid plans . . . . .

We're really enjoying our apartment on Pitt Street in Kensington.  One of the reasons we picked it is because it's only a short five minute walk to the Kensington High Street tube station.  We're using the tube and bus system extensively while we're here as it's extremely convenient to get around and visit all of the places we want to see, or so we thought .......

They are doing a lot of construction work during the "festive period" which wasn't being advertised when we made our housing arrangements.  Fortunately the Notting Hill Gate tube station is close by and served by a different line.  All of the buses that serve our neighborhood stop there, so we can hop on any of them and be there in 5 minutes.  Thank goodness for that.
