I can&#8217;t remember why I didn&#8217;t get around to putting them on line in 2009, but I only remembered them again in 2014 when August bank holiday was so wet I stayed home and didn&#8217;t go to carnival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2009\/08\/30\/20090830-d0533.jpg\" alt=\"More Carnival - Children's Day 2009\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Liquid Gold.

But there was engineering work on the railway with no trains from my station for over a week, only rail replacement buses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/mylondondiary.co.uk\/2009\/08\/30\/20090830-d0127.jpg\" alt=\"More Carnival - Children's Day 2009\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It would still have been possible to make the journey, or to take a bus and then the Underground, but having to do so on both the outward and homeward journey would add considerably to my journey times.
