Oranges and Lemons Sunday London Ride - August 2021
Another terrific morning taking in the atmosphere of The Great Wen on a Sunday morning. We saluted the guards on their way to their ceremonial duties, then before we set off, our leader Titus recited the well known nursery rhyme, which was our theme for the day.
Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St Clement's
You owe me five farthings
Say the bells of St Martin's
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey
When I grow rich
Say the bells of Shoreditch
And when will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney
Oh I do not know
Say the great bells of Bow
Here comes a candle
To light you to bed
And here comes a chopper
To chop off your head
The early part of the ride found us mixing it with the participants and spectators of the London Icons Half Marathon before we headed east onto quieter roads, discovering the various churches as we went. A great morning in town, in lovely company.
